He heard a voice in his head.
'Your daughter can save you.'
'My daughter. Yes. Please. Let her save me.'
'You will lose your immortality.'
'I don't care. I want to marry Saskia and be a good husband. I want to be a brother to Ajeya and make amends. I want to see my mother again and say sorry for what I did.'
'Are you ready to meet your daughter, to be the father she needs in your mortal world?'
'I am ready. I will protect her. I will take care of her. I will love her. I will be a good father to her.'
'Call her then Cornelius, call your daughter, call her name out loud—then she will come.'
'SANSARA!!!'
To be continued in – A Moth in the Flames.
What really happened on that fateful day, when, as a new born baby, Ajeya's face was cruelly disfigured. Was it a freak of nature as she supposes, or was it something closer to home ?
How did Lace escape the clutches of the General when she was his prisoner ?
And can Sansara live up to the prophecy ?
Discover all in the final part of the Kingdom of Durundal epic fantasy series.
