Chapter 20: What the Vessel Holds
Glen confronts his mother in the coven's circle as she reveals she is the spell's vessel, not its anchor. Elara and Corbin arrive as the blue fire begins to consume her. Glen tries to pull her out, but the magic rejects him. Elara uses her new speed to drag him back as the fire expands. His mother's voice breaks through, begging him to run. The hounds arrive at the coven's edge, and Elias appears with a warning: the spell needs a sacrifice, and his mother is completing it willingly to seal the Vampire Lord's magic forever.
The blue fire roared around his mother, swallowing her silhouette until she was barely visible through the flames. Glen's feet carried him forward before his mind caught up.
