~~Beatrice~~ This was going to be interesting. And dangerous. And scary. And exciting. Jacob guided them back down into the chamber beneath Three Kings Cemetery. Guess he didn't care if Julias found out where this ritual chamber was. The dragons knew, so, it couldn't have been his most secret, most important, most diabolical location. And considering the a...
