“I can’t. But I can take you. If you don’t get the book, kill me. But leave Silvie. You have me! What can you gain by taking her now?”

Plenty.

Miranda smiled, drawing the knife across his cheek. Then she nicked him. “Don’t flirt with the illusion that you’ve bought yourself more than a few more hours of life. It’s all going to end soon.”

She turned her back on him and spoke to Alucard. “I have reason to believe that the other three books may be in the buried monastery.”

He grunted softly. “We’ll see. Bring me her book.”

NINETEEN

NINETEEN

Paradise sat in the valley directly below the helicopter. A sleepy-looking village with only one paved street that she could see.

“Hardly the kind of place you’d expect to be the epicenter of the struggle between good and evil,” Silvie said.

“I think that’s the point.”

Since there was no place to land a jet in Paradise, they’d flown into a town named Grand Junction, then switched to the helicopter Karas had arranged.

“There’s something you should know, Silvie,” Karas said, staring at the town below them. “I’ve been debating whether to tell you because I’m afraid that they will stop at nothing to get the information from one of us if they take us. I already made a mistake in telling Johnis.”

“What are you talking about?”

Karas looked at her. “My book, the one Miranda took, was a copy. Mine is hidden in Paradise. I’m sorry for not telling you sooner. But Miranda only has three books, not four.”

Silvie didn’t know what to think about the prospect of her trusting Johnis, but at the moment she didn’t feel the need to dwell on it. There were more important matters at hand.

“Fine. It’s safe, right? Probably the safest place for it right now.”

“Unless Johnis—”

“He wouldn’t. And Miranda may have pieced together what we have about the other three. We should test our theory first and return if we find them.”

“Or we could hide my book again to protect Johnis.”

“We have to see if there’s a lair,” Silvie snapped.

“Okay. To the canyons.”

The helicopter floated over Paradise, then headed into the canyon lands to the south. A wide, white-faced gorge had been cut from the mountain. They flew down into it and pulled up near the box canyon at the end.

“Where?”

“There.” Karas pointed to a cliff on her side of the helicopter where a landslide had taken down a hundred yards of the canyon wall. “They used explosives to implode a monastery built into the cliff face. A real shame. Someone went to a lot of trouble to keep this place hidden.”
