The Young Elites

Content Warning: This section of the guide includes discussion of graphic violence, illness and death, emotional abuse, and physical abuse.

Adelina dwells over Teren’s choice to kill Elites though he is an Elite. She stresses over her secret role as a spy for him, not wanting to reveal compromising information but unable to forsake Violetta. At sunset, Raffaele fetches her; in the cavern, all the Daggers but Enzo witness her oath-taking ceremony. 

Later, she returns to the cavern and a party for Daggers and their wealthy secret patrons. Enzo calms the patrons’ concerns about their plans for the Tournament of Storms by having Adelina demonstrate a realistic illusion of him. When she leaves for her room, Enzo escorts her. They stop near a courtyard and kiss passionately. She wants to tell him the truth about spying for Teren but cannot. Too restless to stay in her room, Adelina returns to the cavern under the illusion of invisibility. There, she listens in on Dante talking to Enzo.

Dante tells Enzo that the night before, Adelina and Teren had a conversation before he (Dante) and Enzo rescued her. Dante reminds Enzo that he (Enzo) murdered in the past to protect the Daggers, insinuating that Adelina should be eliminated.
