It was his last chance, everything else had failed.

The death of his mother had been hard enough, but it's really when his father joined her that Carter became obsessed with the idea of knowing. Knowing where they were, if they reached the right side, what was the right side...

He didn't say a word to Sadie, too afraid to take her with him in his grief. And as a sorcerer coming from a family of even more powerful sorcerers, he should be able to handle this on his own.

But the more he thought about it the more he thought he should have told her. That way he wouldn't be standing alone before this dark, beautiful and frightening angel with dark wings claiming to know a way to the underworld.
