"Laws are spider webs through which the big flies pass and the little ones get caught." - Honore de Balzac The time for internal worries has passed; tonight, the coterie faces judgment. Alex, Calamity, Ivy, and Maya report to the Succubus Club to answer for the destruction of a Primogen, but this trial is anything but fair.

"Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. The fearful are caught as often as the bold." - Helen Keller A congratulatory message reveals the coteries' worst fears: Prince Kevin Jackson knows what they've done. Tomorrow night, they'll be asked to explain themselves in front of the city's most powerful Kindred, but not before being given the rest of the evening to squirm. The Prince and his court aren't the only power brokers aware of their exploits, however. And while Maya attempts to wring the details out of an evasive Ivy and distracted Calamity, Alex Scott finds himself alone with someone far more dangerous than any Prince.

"Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. The fearful are caught as often as the bold." - Helen Keller Bringing their nemesis to final death proves more difficult than the coterie expected when an ancient guardian insists they perform the deed on its terms.
