Chapter 8
Chapter 7 The book was the same, passed from one generation to the next, but the people were different. After the last mistake… Titus crossed his arms. It wasn’t worth thinking about. Nothing would be the same again. He’d made certain of it. All he needed was his sister by his side. Anne didn’t remember, and that was for the best.

Finally it was time to bring an end to him, for good, to keep them from going in the same circles. Soon it would be the two of…
