When He Takes -fallen God 2- - Gabrielle Sands May 2026

Not with words—Valdís, the Fallen God of Ruin, never lied with words. He lied with silences. With the way his scarred fingers paused before touching my skin. With the way he said “run” like a prayer rather than a command.

“To scream.”

“I do,” I lied back.

“You left me my breath.”
