Lyra is words hung in the air like a challenge . Her eyes glinting with a mixture of warning . Avery felt a shiver run down her spine as she tried to process the implications.
"What do you mean ?" Avery asked , her voice barely above a whisper .
Lyra glanced around the room , as if ensuring they were truly alone . "Julian is plan for you goes far beyond making you his queen ," she said , her voice low and urgent . " He intends to use you to solidify his power and control over Tenebrous."
Avery is mind reeled as she tried to comprehend the scope of Julian is ambitions. " But why me ?" she asked , feeling uneasy .
Lyra is smile was enigmatic . " You possess a certain quality , Avery . A quality that makes you valuable to Julian"
Suddenly , the sound of footsteps echoed outside the room , growing louder with each passing moment . Lyra is eyes locked onto Averys a warning flashing between them .
" We shall continue this conversation another time ," Lyra whispered, before disappearing into the shadows .
Avery was left standing alone , her heart pounding in her chest . What secrets lay hidden in the shadows of Blackwood Manor ? And what lay ahead for her in this treacherous world of power and deception?
