The Lazarus Codex Boxed Set 2
Page 81
I passed Remy to Emma and drew Lydia’s soul out, cradling it in my hands. It looked so small, barely any larger than a firefly. “Hey, kid. I don’t know if you can hear me or not, but I figured this would be the right spot. You always did love it down here. I messed up a lot of things, you know, but I wanted to do this one thing right. I hope you find some peace, Lydia. Love you, sis.”
With a gentle breath, I propelled the soul from my fingers. It floated forward and then sank to dance over the black waters of the Mississippi, following the flow toward the sea.
I watched her go, my heart sinking into my toes. The grief settled in my chest, raw and new again, even after ten years.
Then Emma’s hand slipped into mine and squeezed. “Maybe I won’t make you wear the dress.” She always knew the right thing to say at the right time.
I put my arms around her and squeezed her to me before bending down to kiss Remy on her head. “Come on. Let’s go get something to eat.”
Somewhere out on the Mississippi, a little girl’s soul danced in the moonlight, finally free.
A Word from E.A. Copen
Thank you for reading this box set. I really appreciate you sticking with me through this series. It means a lot. I hope you’ll leave a review on Amazon to let me know how you liked it.
In the next book in the series, NIGHT TERROR, Laz must face his greatest fear: a reanimated Thanksgiving turkey! Or, you know… going back to prison. Both are a possibility when you’re a necromancer with a record fighting monsters from another reality.
DARK REVEL, book eight, takes place during Mardi Gras, where literally anything can happen. But someone is in town wearing Laz’s face and bringing the dead back to life. New Orleans just isn’t big enough for the two of them.
