The Heavenly Demon of Terror

(Henry's POV – Unraveling the Shadows)

The city of Houston was just as I remembered—hot, chaotic, and full of secrets.

I walked down the neon-lit streets, my coat swaying in the warm breeze, my sharp blue eyes scanning the crowd.

This place reeked of corruption.

A perfect hiding spot for someone like Nocturne—the Lord of Despair.

Samuel had told me she was here.

But what really caught my attention?

That she and Roselle Vasilyev—the feared Queen of Darkness—had both been played.

And that?

That was hard as hell to believe.

I had seen Nocturne's power firsthand in our second life.
