Cecily Herondale didn't know what she expected when she chose to pursue the same path her older brother had taken so many years ago.
Not this, her mind whispered.
No, she agreed, Not this.
Cecily could clearly remember the day she became an only child. It was that same day her whole young life had come crashing down around her, shattered beyond repair.
She remembered waking up to her crying parents and catching a horrifying glimpse of what used to be her older sister, Ella.
Most importantly, however, she could recall the expression on her brother's face…a terrifying mix of unending grief, guilt and fear. Cecily in her innocence did not understand what was wrong with him and all her attempts to comfort him seemed to make it worse.
He was gone when she woke up the next morning.
Her parents had left as well promising that they would bring him back, but when they finally returned Will was not with them.
That betrayal, Cecily firmly believed is what really broke her family.
In the years to come Will and Ella were barely mentioned in the Herondale household until eventually…they weren't mentioned at all.
I love reivews.
Love to all my readers,
