Chapter 590 Portia Falls Into the Trap

He suspected that was Vilewood—a forest so deadly that even Immortals risked perishing if they ventured inside. It was no ordinary woodland; it was a cursed place, a land poisoned beyond measure.

What trick did Shamus use to lure Portia into Vilewood? If they truly had a way to ward off the toxins, then Sebastian planned to enter before them and seize the Ashpetal for himself.
• "If this really is Vilewood, and you survived its poison, then you must've taken something to counteract it. No one walks in there and comes out alive—not even the immortal can help you," Portia said, locking eyes with Shamus. Her voice was calm, but there was a steely edge that made Shamus feel oddly pressured.
