Chapter 6 Summary
In her chambers, Emilia finds an enchanted skull that delivers a cryptic message in her sister Vittoria’s voice. It states that the “angelus mortis” (dead angel) lives and is almost free, mentions “Fury,” the Maiden, the Mother, and the Crone, and urges Emilia to find the past, present, and future. Emilia concludes that angelus mortis must refer to Wrath. When the skull’s magic fades, she hides it.
Emilia explores the grounds, discovering a cursed lake before finding a library called Haven. Wrath appears and informs her that his brothers have sent invitations for the Lupercalia, or the Feast of the Wolf. He reveals Emilia has been nominated as the guest of honor, a role that requires her to offer her greatest fear as a sacrifice before the demon court.
Chapter 7 Summary
In the Haven library, Emilia and Wrath argue about her contract with Pride. Wrath departs after hinting that her family kept secrets from her about her magic. Troubled, Emilia finds a grimoire and learns that her family line possesses elemental affinities originating from an internal “Source.” When she attempts to connect with her own Source, she senses a powerful, ancient energy.
