Odi et Amo

Who can trace the fine, fine line between love and hate? But there's no time for that right now. The Mortal Cup — and his faithless wife — may still elude him, but Valentine has other means at his disposal now; and Heaven's work cannot wait. Nor does he understand yet how cruelly tight the ties of the heart bind across the years, like cords of steel. Or that the tragedy now beginning to unfold is his own. But then, he has never really known himself at all. Valentine in the days and hours before City of Bones.
