Angie wrapped her arms tight around her middle, staring vacantly at
the gold-framed obsidian mirror propped on the piano. Her
exhaustion and anxiety dropped and soared like a rollercoaster within the
smoky currents of her still-healing magic. All she could see in the reflection
were her own memories and the uncertainty of her future, which needed no
magic. They played through her mind on their own in every waking hour.
She sighed. Perhaps it was for the best she’d never learned to scry, and the
mirror wasn’t hers to use.

Daniel sat beside her on the bench, his hands pressed against the wooden
cover over the piano’s keys. His many rings glinted in the midwinter predawn light through the window above as his glassy, rich brown eyes stared
into the darkly polished mirror. His angular, beautiful face was cleanshaven and delicately lined with the worry and burdens that haunted him.
His wide mouth was soft, and his fine, light brown hair swept his sharp
cheekbones and the collar of his button-down shirt.
Angie watched him, remembering the first time she’d ever seen Daniel
scrying. He’d been sitting in his candle-lit bedroom in their cottage at the
patrician conference last summer, searching for her. Searching with his
magic because Angie had run away and he was unaware she’d just returned.
She didn’t want to remember what had made her flee. The images of the
large blond man who had broken her—destroyed her—rose in her mind,
and she pushed them away. He, and his entire world, were distant and
powerless to reach her. The lingering, pervasive sense of looming danger
that Angie had lived with for the last six months flared into her awareness,
and she closed her eyes. Remember why I’m here now. Remember that I’m
safe with him.
Daniel sighed. He blinked several times, yawned, and raked his hair out
of his face.
Angie’s stomach clenched. “Well?”
Daniel shrugged. “Aye. Not much, but enough,” he said, his Caledonian
accent carving the mundane sentence into a work of art even to her
accustomed ears. “The Senators whose shields and wards I can break
through have returned from their meeting. As far as I can tell, no one went
to Stonehenge in Locus Proxima for this solstice, so we have more time
before they install a new lock.”
Angie exhaled through a weak smile. She had no desire to return to the
empty half-world, devoid of all life, that housed the still-powerful hub of
magic.
Daniel pinched the bridge of his nose. “Maybe the new, true Seer that
Dawn hinted at recruiting will see more.”
“True Seer?” Angie asked, raising a brow and rubbing Daniel’s back to
help him wake up from his trance.
“Yeah. Run-of-the-mill Seers like me can see the past and present—
within reason—but true Seers can also see the future.” Angie blinked,
surprised. Daniel shook his head. “Not for certain, mind you. Not like in
mythology. Free will and choice mean that’s impossible. But they can see
