Vengeful Benjamin has been lying in wait, but is finally ready to gather his Congregation allies and put his long-held plot to destroy Matthew and Diana into action. However, the danger that Diana and Matthew don’t reckon on is the return of Matthew’s evil, long-lost vampire son Benjamin (Jacob Ifan), who turns out to be their biggest threat of all. ‘You see her move through grief, celebration, excitement and joy, and there’s also a lot of danger!" "We’re wrapping up the trilogy, so there is a lot that my character navigates this series,’ says Teresa Palmer who plays Diana. He's coming.Determined to avenge Em’s death, Diana knows she must turn her power into a destructive purpose, something she’s previously resisted. With enemies joining forces, it’s also a race against time to find the Book of Life and overthrow the all-powerful Congregation, so that she and Matthew can raise their new family in peace. Nobody in Benjamin's presence will be allowed to leave so easily. Matthew and Diana should have known that was his intention. His infatuation is ugly, and he used it to control another witch named Lena so she'd ultimately lead him to his prey. Benjamin is doing everything in his power to find Matthew and Diana.īenjamin doesn't know Diana, so it's creepy that he's so fixated on her. Settling into his new life doesn't seem as impossible as it did when outside influences controlled him. Matthew: Even if he did, he wouldn't get close enough to hurt you. Benjamin wouldn't dare to set foot on de Clermont territory. Matthew: You weren't exploring, were you? You were patrolling. Still, he knew what was before him and couldn't let his guard down. It's an all-too-familiar theme in the real world these days, so this reflection of that carried a lot of weight.īeing reunited with Matthew and Diana has been great for him, and being accepted into the family by Ysabeau meant the world to him. The meeting found them not worried about the people they're supposed to govern and what's best for them but about how they'll retain their power. It's always said that absolute power corrupts absolutely, and since The Covenant has no meaning without The Congregation, they're on tenterhooks wondering how they'll put an end to the disobedience. : Then our scion has failed, and we will submit to The Congregation.ĭiana's powers are no match for the vampires, so it's no wonder that Baldwin took her at her word about keeping any blood rage vampires out of trouble.Įverything they're doing has purpose, and that comes at the expense of The Congregation.Would you then recognize Matthew as the head of his scion?ĭiana: I can, I swear, that if any of them act on their blood rage, I will spellbind them.ĭiana: Then our scion has failed, and we will submit to The Congregation. I have never and never will bring shame upon the de Clermont family and neither will our children.ĭiana: What if I gave you my word that any member of our scion with blood rage can be brought under control. Matthew: If I was out of control, Baldwin, you'd already be dead.

She's very confident in herself, her children, her marriage, and especially, her powers.īaldwin: Vampires with blood rage are never in control, not absolutely. You can tell Diana's powers are strengthening, and she's got very little concern about marrying the missing pages with The Book of Life.

: Well, if she has blood rage, then we'll deal with it.Matthew: And what else has she inherited from me?ĭiana: Well, if she has blood rage, then we'll deal with it. Matthew: There is a reason we do not turn children to vampires. They don't know if either twin will have it but seeing his infant drinking from Diana's wrist was a little too much for him. Matthew feels defenseless and powerless to save his children without a cure for blood rage.

The poor baby girl couldn't keep down her food, but Marthe had a feeling she knew why. Matthew was a little on edge about their undertaking, which bubbled to the surface when he found Diana feeding Rebecca. The family has been together on so many occasions, but none of them were for an event as crucial to the family as Christening Rebecca and Philip.
