Chapter 176

• The air around Olivia and Eloise shimmered like molten silver as they stepped forward, leaving the Gamma’s Guardian behind.

• The world around them twisted, folding like pages of an ancient book. The cool stone beneath their feet dissolved, and in its place emerged a vast celestial expanse.
