Chapter 17

• STEFANO POV
• The Fates had always delighted in mocking me, and perhaps I should have anticipated that this situation would be no different. It felt like a curse had been woven into my very existence from the moment I was born. I had walked through life marked by a demon’s touch, bringing only death and destruction to those I held dear.
• Years ago, I discovered that the key to breaking my curse existed somewhere out there, a glimmer of hope I had been chasing ever since. As the days turned to months, despair crept in until she quite literally burst into my life, the one who might hold the power to set everything right.
