EXCERPT
Jasper
walked over to Ophelia. “You didn't think you'd still be Princess Ophelia, did
you? Every neighboring kingdom knows who you are. The minute they saw you’re
alive, it would change everything.”
“I'm
confused.” Ophelia hoped someone would elaborate.
“Your
soul stays intact, but the body you'll be in will be different.” Wynter reached
for Ophelia's hand, resting it over his chest. “Do you feel that?” He had kind
eyes and a warm smile.
Ophelia
nodded. He had a steady heartbeat. “But you're dead?”
“We're
undead, technically, but the human body can't sustain a soul without a working
heart, lungs, you get the idea. We're not zombies. We're real people. We just have
the ability to reap a person's soul when they die, so they can move on.”
