From Chapter 58 - UNAPOLOGETIC (Ansel Conrad POV) pt.1
Question: While the plot may need Taylor to be able to follow Devin, someone with Angela's level of technical expertise would be aware that there are devices that can't be reliably scanned. With the stakes so high, they wouldn't even take the chance of letting her keep anything including her clothes. An alternative might be for Taylor to have drugged Devin one night and then "chipped" her. This would still maintain the limitation of Taylor needing close, unobserved and uninterrupted access to plant the device.
Answer: Angela wasn't with Antone's crew. They did a basic check for Devin and tracking devices. What I was trying to explain is that only when Devin was let off the bus did Taylor pick up a signal. Also the device can be untraceable depending on the materials used to make it.

Question: I remember she used to update everyday😟😢 this every 2 weeks stuff is bumming
Answer: It takes me about an hour to type about 3,000+ words a day. When I first started I was not taking hard classes so I had time to just type. I'd be typing in class pretending to take notes LOL! Now, I have more things going on so I still try to get chapters done but I honestly do not have a lot of time. I'm always in touch with some readers and they can confirm, I hardly ever sleep, so even though I'm updating not as much, it's not because I want to punish anyone or readers. I just... don't have three to four hours a day to put out a chapter everyday and have one waiting for the next.
Also I should add that I'm STILL doing that writing it out thing... Meaning I handwrite every chapter, THEN, type it up. And I'm trying to publish the series so that's taking time as well.

Questions/Comments From: Chapter 58 - UNAPOLOGETIC (SAMSON CONRAD POV) PT.2
Question: If I was right then my other theory maybe close. The symbol are where the 6 lords are or where at one time. My reason is one star was looks to be in the Northwest area where Luca and Imogen where then the other was in West Coast area where Grayson was and now Sawyer (she moved a lot with her family). So could the other be the locations of the lords. The other thing is that we know that the power that will be release by the violins is great and needs have a least 20 people for the absorption. What if 20 people is not even so the remaining power would be absorbed by Faith which in turn release her true powers and what she is truly.
Answer: I swear BettyShepherdHebb LIVES inside my head. This isn't like exactly it but you're really just skirting the line, which means that I'm not making it impossible to figure out. THANK YOU BETTY for writing out this comment :)

Question: Could the trigger event be when Lydia tried to kill Faith and why she's been in pain most of the trip?
Answer: I think to answer this I need to use an example. Lets say you have this toy/device that works on batteries. It's dead and you don't use NEW batteries to power it. It works, but not at its full potential on the half used up batteries. Then you get new batteries with enough power to run the device and it's working faster, lighting up brighter... Lydia had some power, just not enough to make Faith run at full potential... does that make sense?
Also.... Let's not forget that CYNTHIA steals energy... and she is BIOLOGICALLY Fatima's mother.

Question: Rafael isn't supernatural. I will venture a guess that he can't see the same as the others do because it's spelled to remain hidden from human eyes/anyone that could be a threat to Faith. It's magically camouflaged. We knew that Faith isn't 100% fae. She has something else all mixed in there with her. Recalling the conversation she overheard Wyatt in only confirms this. The body chemical change could be the reason she hasn't been feeling well. What exactly it is that has to happen to cause this change is having to do with her relationship with Samson, I think. The closer and more intimate they become, the worse her symptoms seem to get.
Answer: Rafael isn't supernatural, you are correct. Yes the place was hidden from human eyes – but also from people that.... I'll leave this here.
As for the relationship with Samson and Faith and her physical pain, no, her pain is just getting worse.
.
.
.
Question: The Absorption! is it possible that it's the trigger event? and then by changing of makeup it means her physical apperance will change? Andy said that Faith is royalty, what if she's Elder Bellamy's sister? and they did some fae magic to make her turn into a fetus and inserted her to Cynthia or smh.. The posibilities for this book is endless
Answer: Yes.
.
.
.
Question: I just remembered something, the Were King! It is said that he can transform to any animals riight? And Anya/Norrine have met Faith and Wyatt before Chelsea was even born. Is it possible that Norrine gave Fatima a part of her father's blood then Wyatt also inserted other supernatural bloods in her including the bloods of the dark and light lord. And the reason why they can only smell Fae in her bc Cynthia is a surrogate, they choose her for Faith to have a more prominent Fae blood.
Answer: Norrine has never met Faith... Seriously Betty and Stellargoddess need to have a talk LOL.
.
.
.
Question: So Sawyer is right, Wyatt is a puppet master pulling everybody strings. And this place they're at is somehow shielded from humans, only supers can see it, so I'm guessing its meant to be a sanctuary for supers once humans start hunting them.
Answer: Sawyer is sort of right, BUT... there is a clue that I've written that everyone has overlooked. Wyatt tells Faith that he will see her again. If he's already traveled to this realm, and he will see her again, that means... take it away Betty and Stellargoddess... lol
.
.
.
Question: Wait... Wasn't it mentioned that Wyatt might not b dead? Was he ever dead? Lol I forgot, but I think this is either a flashback or she switched realms suddenly... That last part is kinda pushing it though
Answer: THANK YOU COURTNEYANN715!! At least someone is wondering if Wyatt is dead lol... he's like Taylor or maybe Gabriel... nothing kills him... and he's traveled to this realm ALREADY and he's told Faith that he will see her again...

Questions From Chapter 58 - UNAPOLOGETIC (Fatima Ashlynn POV) PT.3Question: Six points of a six pointed star two triangles 🔺🔻three ☀ Suns is one triangle ️three ⭐️stars is the other. What if the six Angel sous spread out to cast a balanced spell. Triangulate jaxon with a net. Binding Jaxon with light and dark magic until a fully active GMO (faith) can deal with Jaxon or cast cage magic sealing Jaxon away. One of the six souls at one of thee points. Magical nexus points
Answer: Oh geez this response has me bouncing in place!!!! Okay CjVisser, Betty and Stellar, yep.... Just. YES! All I think someone is missing is the letter that Faith translated, the clues there.
.
.
.
Question: I think it's a portal or gate to the Farie world or Zedwood as u call it and only Fatima can open it n apparently only supernatural scan see it which is why Rafeal can't see it.
Answer: I'm so excited!!! Pandora2912, yes. Okay so someone commented that this cannot be read as a standalone and the truth is it can. The only reason someone might think it cannot be is because of all the comments where people have read the other books and are using clues here to put the larger story into place.
I have no idea if Pandora2912 has read the other books but here is a comment that I feel like is amazing because it's so close to what is in the other books but I've never mentioned it here - but PLAN TO in a upcoming chapter. I always double check what I write and always make sure not to just write something that someone would only know if they read the other books.
Sure reading the other ones may help you get clues and see the bigger picture but you do not need to read the other books to understand this one. Everything unfolding here, I make sure that you can understand without reading them. It may seem like you're more confused than other readers that have read the books but in the end you'll have ALL your answers.
So back to Pandora2912's comment. Yes, the locations of the stars and whatnot are important to Faith, but also to Zedwood, AND to the clues in what Faith translated.

Question: But why is she afraid of Lucas knowing information
Answer: Luca is Rhys, and Rhys is a Dark Lord, Faith isn't sure if she can trust him because when she was writing down the characters he did not know it, or remember it. Then she read the rest of the book and it said that only those who know this should read the Chronicles. So with her obvious distrust... And I'll just add EmilliaLongBottomPot's answer because it's spot on too.
Answer from EmilliaLongBottomPot: She was also left alone for so many years she wouldn't really have a personality as she learns more about her self and the ones she surrounds herself with a true personality would have to break through. She also grew up being told not to trust others... Luca is confusing for her.

Question: In New Zealand I learnt it as Gondwana land. The same place when all continents where together way way back in time.
Answer: It is that too... I mean there were supercontinents before Pangea and Gondwana is one of them.
.
.
.
Question: When is her change going to happen?
Answer: It's kind of ALREADY happening...
.
.
.
Question: If she grew into her personality quickly then that would suck and I feel she wouldn't have all this vital information stored in her head.
Answer: Faith is growing, while some may hate her attitude to come, she's just coming into her own now. She's sort of agitate and frustrated, she's grumpy because she's in pain, and Samson while he wants to wrap her up in bubble wrap, I think he's aware that she's coming into her change and shift, because he's thinking of the stories he's heard of shifts where those around are injured. And even though his mom said that it's probably just Faith starting to menstruate, Samson is more thinking that she's going to shift.
.
.
.
Question: It sucks being out of school 10+ years. I seriously forgot about the supercontinent!!!! That would have never crossed my mind!!
Answer: Which is okay because it's just part of history and I'm using what's known in my fictional story lol. Plus I explain.
.
.
.
Question: I love that she is slowly growing into her personality, it makes the book more alluring
Answer: Thank you. She's had some different phases here. She was hiding all the time, and wanting to go back to her safe house, not interacting with anyone BUT Samson. Overthinking her words said, or what was spoken to her. Now, she's still those things, but slowly, she's growing even if she's afraid.

Question: I'm wondering if the big circle over Eurasia is where Wyatt is. The house with the gate I think is where the Elders are basing their headquarters at. Originally I was thinking the six symbols was where the scrimshaws were found. But then the symbols would have been closer together since they were found in pairs (Imogene and Luca found theirs on vacation in Colorado (I think, I know they were skiing) and Sawyer and Grayson were both in NC.) geographically the symbols all look to be in North America, so it can't be where the hosts for the six souls were born because Sawyer was born in England. The locations look to be New York (or Massachusetts where Faith and co are headed), NC, Texas, California, Oregon, and North Dakota?
Answer: Betty, CjVisser, and Stellar, this comment is from Shygirlreads, you four and I'm sure many other silent readers live in my head. So I love that this is actually removing possibilities. The symbols are all in North America, but it cannot be where the scrimshaw or hosts were born.
.
.
.
.
Question: Its locations of events that are important whether they are past or present they mark important locations. That's my guess
Answer: This is more of a comment than question from Greekgoddess18 but she's on point. The locations are important and it's not just from the past but future too.

Questions From Chapter 59 - Fragments (Fatima Ashlynn POV) Pt. 1 & 2
Question: Now that she's connected the dark lords with elders in her mind and isn't trusting Luca I can see why Wyatt made sure to tell her that she could trust sawyer
Answer: JennLile you're on point with Stellar, Betty, ShyGirl and Cj. That comment eventually will help Faith either trust Luca or not.
.
.
.
Question: Does anyone remember where Chelsea and Gabe built that shifter town?
Answer: OMG! This is one of those comments where I know this person is reading the other stories and I'm so happy. But I know that those reading as a standalone think they are somehow missing something. You aren't. Eventually, I'm going to cover this so while someone that has read know this, you will know it as well just later.
.
.
.
Question: Is one of them the town in Undivided where Chelsea and Gabriel are in the future?
Answer: Yes. YES. YES!!!! Again, this is one of those comments I just mentioned. The locations have significance in the PAST and the FUTURE. Faith is covering the PAST.

Question: I still don't like Rafael honestly don't think he should be asking so many questions when truthfully he doesn't actually need to be there. His usefulness ended chapters ago, he's egotistical, obnoxious and loud and people seem to think that because Faith has never really snapped back at people for being rude to her, now that she's changing she should stay the same meek minded girl. That's NOT going to happen she's going to change and become who she really is, personality and body alike. Rafael deserves every snap back because he's questioning people when he doesn't even understand what the fuck is going on, he's demanding answers like his opinion or he in general matters. Ugh he's so annoying ,and to you people thinking Faith is a bitch just stop the bullshit, let's be real, if you went through the same thing and a dude who had no real use or standing came into your group demanding answers to things that really don't concern him started getting smart with you, you'd snap back on his ass too.
Comment from his_angel: i agree with everything you just said. i might be wrong, but i think something is not quite right. He's wanting to know things, that as far as i can see, concerns him. i don't know, i just don't trust him.
Comment from TamesheiaSoTiredOfIt: Yeah I don't trust Rafael. I feel like if she give him the code they all will be dead the next morning
Comment from Lindiwe22: Thank you for the update, please do the Q & A, we need that.Rafael has little trust not just in Faith but in all of them. I get that he needs answers but he just joined the team & he feels he's the first one to force Faith to share. Doesn't he think the timeline affects all of them especially Faith who's right there with them & trying her best to add the pieces together. Rafael is not a child and is aware of what he's doing. If he found out that the world ends within a week, what will he do? the only person who has means of helping as many people as possible is the one with all the facts, Faith is not even there yet.What will knowing the codes help him with, he sounds like someone they shouldn't be trusting.
My response: So I agree with everyone really but at the same time, I kind of like Rafael. I mean there's a shift now because Samson now that he's realized his feelings for Faith he's less pushy, he's going at her pace and he's more like supportive and concerned for her. Imogen she's sort of the one that when Faith talks she helps look at the big picture, but no one there is pushing Faith to look at everything differently. Also, with Luca, Rafael knew EVERYTHING. I mean Luca was with Imogen and only told Rafael, so they're friendship is airtight, Rafael isn't a bad guy, I SWEAR IT! He just needs to take the warning that Luca and Samson has given him and tone it down. .

Question: Be honest. This book can't really be read as a stand alone can it? No, be honest because now, when we really need to know what's truly going on, to really understand the gravity of the situations, we can't because we haven't read the other books. You've made me feel like Rafael and I don't like you for it. Remove the "stand alone" part from the synopsis because IT'S A LIE.
Answer: Honest answer, I think it can be read as a standalone. One of the messages I get MANY of is people that hate that when they are reading, the comments have all these discussions about other books and readers feel like they are being given spoilers for things and it ruins it for them. THAT I believe is what is happening now. This can be read as a standalone and If I went through and deleted every comment that had something related to the other books or characters there would be no problem because I have my outline, I have notes to when I need to insert the information needed. And to make sure that no one reading Loving Ashlynn or Shattered would be confused I try to read them twice a month from beginning to wherever I have updated to WITHOUT reading the comments so that I know it flows. But THANK YOU FOR WRITING THIS COMMENT, now that you've mentioned it, my next read over the weekend I'll try and pay better attention because maybe I've added details that you'd only know if you read the other books. However anything that I do plan to explain I cannot remove.

Comment: Every chapter you add keeps pulling me in more and more so cant wait to see if Faith starts remembering more
Answer: Thank you J Yeah Faith will start to remember more because like I said, she is changing but not at the rate that she could be had Lydia had more power...
.

Comment: That place is probably in between realms. Earth and the Fae realm which is why Raf can't see it. Maybe only supernaturals can see it. . . Or maybe Samson can only see it because of his bond with Fatimah? Also, the tyre tracks. . . Hmmm. Other realm maybe? Or observation? But that wouldn't be it because Samson is highly skilled at that. I donow.
Answer: So again this is like so close... It's hard to full answer without giving away the plot... but it's like greekgoddess said in a comment before, the stars and flowers are locations that are important not just in the past but future.
The property was left by Dmitri for Faith. However... CLUE PEOPLE!!! >>> Read Chapter 1 where it's in Walsh's POV
Walsh asked a guy to look up Faith's location. Remember? And just like they did, when Walsh's guy did it, they found NOTHING. So First Patty and Walsh they go to Dmitri's house, THEN Walsh read the journals... read about Faith, what she believed, then Walsh BELIEVED what he read went and found Faith...
So... Raf cannot see the bridge and gate, but look at his mindset compared to Walsh. Walsh could have left Fatima on the mountain but he said he trusted Dmitri, and then read the journal...

Question: The only thing i'm not fully grasping yet that i know you will reveal in time are the flower and star icons. What i would like to know is how roughly close are the one in North/South Carolina and California are to the Conrad Den and Wolf-haven respectively. Second thought is that you said the Dmitri's in Shattered (Margo's Boyfriend) and Faiths Dmitri could be the same (pretty sure you didn't actually say they were the same), if this is/was the case could the Tyre tracks that Faith thought she saw on the bridge be caused by her hiding out in that house?
Answer: I will soon talk about the flower and star icons LOL. Ugh, I frowned here because if I answer these... I'd basically be giving away the plot... but since you're already thinking this way, it won't hurt to say that you should run with this... as for Margo... nope. She's not the one that left the tire tracks.

Okay so... I think I've answered a good amount here. I'll try to update Tuesday (Skokie, IL TIME) or maybe sooner but I cannot stare the computer for too long cause it only hurts my eyes.
Good news Is that I'm going to the eye doctor soon because my mom noticed that I was squinting at my laptop even with my glasses then I complained of my migraines so she thinks I should get my prescription checked out.
