Darkness Undone: A Novel Of The Marked Souls - Plot & Excerpts
Despite near slavery, despite demonic possession, she had been innocent. And in a handful of sunsets, this man had opened her eyes and unveiled her desire; he had taught her the meaning of sin. But Sidney had left her there—alone. Even the devil had not been so cruel. Now he came to her, to explain. She could not believe now the things she had said and what she had revealed to him. She would have been smarter to have turned her back on a feralis. At least then the pain would have quickly ended. But he was talking again. “… the influence of the symballein bond,” he was saying. “That’s the reason you—we are infected with these epidemic emotions.” “Possessed and infected.” She was careful to purge any of those epidemic emotions from her voice. “How inconvenient.” He peered at her, clearly uncertain of her mood, as well he should be. She drew herself in tight and hard, like slamming the empty mausoleum door closed on its hollow core. Nothing inside, not even death. That she would reserve for the tenebrae.
