Something’s got them properly spooked, but they won’t say what.If it’s big and bad enough to scare the fae, it’s most definitely powerful enough to make a mouthful of me—probably a small mouthful, at that. And now that the fae have come to me, whatever’s after them is also after me.My weak magic and a sarcastic cat for backup are unlikely to be enough to keep me alive and save the fae youngling.There is someone who’s willing to help me—Sarroch.
