"Evan Aldren's first daughter was apparently born still, her heart not beating. That is what Ember knew. Because they were of mixed blood, my mother believed that the babies were not carried to full term, and that was what caused their death. She thought it was fate… or rather the weakness in the bloodline. But it wasn't that at all.

The words hung heavy in the room.
Lance, Kael and Zen, all three felt their hearts chill. Their bodies went rigid around her as they heard the grim words.
