He who breaks the earth

Having spent years suffering from his weird, wasting sickness, Mateo has now learned the darker truth about himself, and vows to do anything--even betraying Lia, the girl he has feelings for, the one person in the world who has made him think about anything but his sickness and his research. Meanwhile, Anwei's rage grows after Knox nearly died in the tomb disaster and she also finds out her brother--the one she has been desperate to avenge all this time--is not only alive, but well and being raised by the monster she has vowed to hunt.
