    Summary

    *The Cullens left Italy believing they had survived.*

    *They had simply not yet met the right people.*

    *When Aurelia felt something shift in the direction of her father, she moved. She always does. Celestine and Vashti followed. They always do.*

    *Three daughters. Millennia old. Raised in the halls of Volterra by three kings who built an empire and then, when it mattered, handed their girls a room and stepped back to watch.*

    *They are not three individuals who happen to be close. They are one thing with three faces. A dragon who learned centuries ago that the softest head is the one that ends you.*

    *The Cullens will return to Italy with questions and diplomacy and Bella Swan.*

    *They will find three young women on three thrones. They will watch Aurelia smile. They will hear her laugh. They will forget, the way everyone always forgets, exactly whose daughter she is.*

    *They will remember.*

    *All at once.*

    *The softer throne was never the safer one.*
