Instead, I found a prison. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe Seraphs can't decide if I'm an enemy or an ally. So, they offer me a choice: rot in chains or prove my worth in the brutal coming-of-age trials. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eI choose to fight. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe trials will probably kill me. They're designed to cull the weak. I don't have wings. I don't have training. And other contenders would gladly see me dead. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eI don't want to need Syrus.

His velvet thoughts coil through my mind, and I'm powerless to resist him. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBut Syrus isn't my only problem. What I've kept caged is rattling the bars, and if it breaks loose where the Seraphs can see, no trial will decide my fate. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThey'll decide I'm demon-touched. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAnd what the ephilium do to spies makes the trials look like mercy. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eSurvive the trials.
