Enter Elara Vance, who reveals the truth: the Codex is a prison for a demonic entity, and Alistair's rare "golden blood" makes him the key to containing it-or unleashing it. But former Guard member Silas Blackwood wants the Codex too, not for power, but to resurrect his dead family. As Alistair translates deeper, the Scribe doesn't tempt-it validates, feeding his grief over his parents' unsolved murder and showing him visions the Guard has hidden. When Blackwood's forces attack, Alistair learns the devastating truth about his parents' deaths. On the winter solstice, bound to an altar as Blackwood's ritual begins, Alistair discovers the Codex's final secret: a choice. Sever the demon forever-but lose all connection to his parents' memory. Or fuse with it-become a monster, but carry their legacy within him forever. The choice is his alone. Some cages are made to be opened. Others are made to be carried.

And the only person who might have answers is the one he trusts the least. Some doors shouldn't be opened. Some letters shouldn't be read. But someone wrote one anyway. In blood.

I accidentally almost killed someone with magic. My mother disappeared right after. And now I'm stuck in England with the grandmother she spent sixteen years warning me about.

The demon accusations. The midnight exorcisms. And the tiny little issue of my magic feeding off living things. Apparently, that's bad. Now everyone's acting like I'm either destined to become the most powerful witch in the family... or the reason it finally destroys itself.
