would have been the same had they whisked her to the hospital the moment the finger began to swell. “Drugs that don’t work,” the internist announced forlornly, delivering the respectfully folded bandana like a miniature American flag at a military funeral, “don’t work early any better than they work late.” Meantime, Nollie did jumping jacks beside the car, earning no end of rubbernecking hilarity from passing locals. Willing would never have called it to her attention, but her form had decayed. Her hands no longer met overhead, but rose only as high as her ears, then descended to the level of her waist. The result was a weak, dying-butterfly motion.

Merlin is the only person I’ve connected with in years. Do you know how hard it is to find someone weird enough for me, even on Lionel?

We brought you here. You called me ‘Administrator’ and Merlin ‘Hector’ and tried to attack us. Who is Hector?” “No one.” Ari closed her eyes. “I kept hallucinating. Seeing my enemies.

Someone intruding within 18 inches without consent is regarded as threatening or uncomfortable behavior.

I’ve had a vision,” Gabriel said, sounding excited. “It’s an opportunity. One we really mustn’t miss.” “What is it, Noxy?” Orion rose from his chair, moving to stand in front of me so the Atlas was held between us. “Lionel’s hosting a party at the palace on Christmas Eve,” he said. “And there’s going to be a chance for me to get inside and use the chair in the Royal Seer’s Chamber that night. The stars are going to grant me this one opportunity to use it even though I don’t officially hold that title.” I sucked in a breath. “That’s great.” “Yeah,” Gabriel said. “And I think we might have another opportunity at the same time too...” “Like what?” Orion asked. “Stella’s going to be at the party, which means you two could try and get onto her property.

I was broken. I knew it. This bond he’d placed on me had done something so twisted that my own thoughts and feelings weren’t entirely my own anymore. But I was also a slave to this connection one way or another. And if I wanted to maintain enough of myself to stand a chance of ever escaping him, then I knew I had to accept this side of it for now.

whoever waited within. "Captain Lionel Redmayne, sir." Unholy pleasure edged the man's voice, setting every nerve in Lion's body stinging with wariness. But Lion only strode into the room with the

My fingers danced above the open box as I tried to anticipate which flavor would be the very best. Lionel, equal parts benevolent and impatient, steered me to a dusty rose-colored one; it was the famous Ispahan flavor. I bit into the shell that, poof, crunched ever so delicately before collapsing in a delightfully chewy and moist mouthful. And then the storm of flavors hit me.
