Chapter 29

• Magnus's POV
• In the last few days, I made three crucial mistakes.
• First, I allowed Aurelia to slip through my fingers when masked men infiltrated her birthday Gala. I had never experienced true fear in my life—facing death had always strengthened my resolve. You can't push someone to the brink of death if you fear it yourself. Death never frightened me. I was certain that one day I would meet my match, and it would end as I always expected—violently.
