*Sequel to 'The Alchemist's Starling'*

Seriously - you won't understand the plot without reading TAS first...

It has been 4 months since Chisa saw the horrific Flash. Every night, her nightmares show her the same bloodcurdling image she wishes she never saw. But Chisa never told anyone what she saw... 

Chise questions her, wanting to help - but Chisa lies, she can't tell the truth...

How can she? 

Joseph continues to torment her from inside her head - the place where he can do the most damage.

Chisa longs for freedom; freedom from the psychotic Alchemist who's ruining her life... but she's starting to lose hope. She's struggling to carry this burden on her own, but how can she ask for help when she's forbidden to speak of the Pact?

However, Chisa is learning how to use Magic - she has the potential to become a great Mage. She has the talent and the passion. The only thing is, she lacks confidence - something she cannot have while Joseph is inside her head. 

She still Flashes - she has no control over them. Each new Flash disturbs her, but she burdens them alone. Everything Chisa sees, becomes reality. That's how it works... 

Her entire future is set in stone...

*****

"What makes you think the future is set in stone?" He asks me, gazing at me curiously. 

"That's... the way it's always been. What I see... always happens in the future." I reply hesitantly.

He smiles at me, reaching his hand out to cup my face: "You are an Oracle, yet you do not understand your own power."

*****

"You know, fear has two meanings. You can Forget Everything And Run; or you can Face Everything And Rise." 

"What will you choose?"

*****

Will Chisa ever be free?

Will she ever learn to face her fear?

But when she meets the mysterious and handsome Kayde Rhys, she learns that not everything is as perfect as it seems. One trip to New Orleans throws Aisling into the most exciting and life-threatening world she never knew existed. Aisling finds that she is more powerful than anyone could have imagined.

What my values are. What my standards are. What my morals are. And this is not 1 of them. Values define who you are. The minute, the second, the millisecond, you forget your values, you lose yourself, your mind, your soul. I already lost my family and my innocence to the supernatural. I am not going to lose my humanity too. I find the words flying out of my mouth in a frantic hurry before I can stop them. I am screeching, screaming, blurting words and phrases and sentences and paragraphs at the people before me like I will soon run out of air. They stare at me like I am speaking in tongues, which I guess to them I am. "Okay," Kayde says as he picks his lifeless brother off the ground. Slings him over his shoulder like he is made of feathers. Nods at me once, twice, 3 times. "We can use him to get information. No killing." He looks me in the eye. But that doesn't mean that there won't be torture.

The fingers of his right hand find my chin, forcing me to turn my head to the right. My blurry sight is greeted by his cool grey eyes, my stomach churns. He presses his forehead against mine - the mere physical contact has me shaking. "Do you know why the fae call you, The Alchemist's Starling?" I can't answer him... I'm lost in my own emotions. "The fae can sense you," he continues, "just as they can sense Alchemists. They saw your unique, purple locks fluttering in the wind when we went outside together - like the wings of a Starling. Of course, their kind adore you, and loathe us Alchemists. The fact that they cannot have you, makes them sad. Of course, because they saw you with me - they recognised that you were mine."
