a cross in the void // christopher lightwood {4}

{Rivers & Gates, Pt. IV} Pluto's not sure if she's ever recovering from the cleansing ritual they performed for the goblins living under the Wiltshire Downs. Haunted by their vision of Christopher lying dead and fearing their uselessness in the upcoming war, Pluto does what she always does: she looks for solutions. It's going to be a nasty search, one that will take Pluto down a dark and deadly path, one from which, if she's not careful, they may not return. Lies, stolen research, ritual, and trippily vivid dreams of Dash in an uncomfortably familiar hell-it's all leading somewhere. And for the first time, Pluto can't see the ending.
