Yesterday marked the end of the UNTIL I DIE blog tour, which means that you finally had all of the clues you needed to put together the riddle. A couple dozen people successfully completed and sent it to me. And from those names, Randomizer.org chose Emily Rencich as the grand prize winner! (Congratulations, Emily!)

So here is the correct riddle:

Dark Way or guérriseur? Two ways to send
Vincent and Kate toward their happy end.
Lilies are white. Violettes are blue.
Who disappears when this story is through?

(See my Contact Page for my email address.) If you answer it correctly, I will send you a signed book plate to stick inside your copy of the book!
