Every step along that flooded runway felt like walking across the surface of a frozen lake with a thousand hairline cracks spreading beneath my feet.
The water lapped around my ankles in a gentle caress, cool and silken and strangely alive, and it moved with me as though it had been waiting years for a woman to walk upon it. I could still hear the humming beneath the planks, soft and clear and heartbreakingly familiar, and I understood with a slow and dizzy wonder that m

SebastianThe courier arrived at the embassy townhouse at four in the afternoon, a polite young man in a navy uniform who carried a small flat package wrapped in brown paper and asked for a signature as though he were delivering a book.Rowan took it from his hands at the door with the suspicion of a man handling a snake, and he carried it up to the second-floor study where I had spent the whole day staring at the ledgers that Zara had stolen from my coat and the dark screen that refused to tell me where she had hidden them. The package contained a single memory drive, small and black and sealed in a velvet pouch, with a luggage tag attached by a silk cord.The tag bore a name that I had never heard, written in a neat commercial hand, and it described the drive as the testimony of a rogue informant who had agreed to sell his silence at a price."There is no return address and no sender's card, and the courier says that a gentleman in a gray overcoat paid

ElecI knew something was wrong before I reached the front door, because every window of the pavilion glowed with light and yet the house stood utterly silent, like a mouth held open on a scream that had not yet been voiced.The lake had risen.It stood a full meter above its usual shoreline, black and glassy and perfectly still, and the jetty where Neralda had promised to wait for me lay half drowned beneath the surface with only the tips of its posts showing. Caroline stood at the top of the steps with her blade drawn and her face gone gray, and when I asked her what had happened, she only shook her head and pointed toward the study.Andrew had caught up with me on the drive, panting from the run across the lawn, and he caught my arm just before I stepped through the door."I have to tell you before you go in, because the news will not improve with delay, and I would rather you heard it from a friend," he said in a low rapid voice. "Teague has no

NeraldaThe lake lay as flat and silver as a polished mirror when we arrived at dusk, and I stood on the wooden jetty with Caelan's small hand tucked inside mine and listened to the water breathing against the pilings.Elec had sent us ahead to the lakeside house with Caroline and a convoy of quiet cars, because the tower in Paris had been breached in the very lobby where Lucy had nearly been taken, and he could not bear to leave his family in a building that had already shown him its teeth. He had followed with the lawyers an hour later, and I had promised to wait for him by the water, where the air smelled of reeds and cold stone and nothing in the world could creep up on us unseen.Lucy had been put to bed upstairs with a mug of cocoa and Valentine at her door, and she had told me three times that the scar-faced woman was not truly wicked, only lost, and that I must not be unkind to her when we met again.I had not known how to answer a child who spoke

SilverThe pendant burned through my glove the instant my fingers closed around it, and the pain was so bright and so sudden that I forgot, for one terrible heartbeat, that I was a woman who had trained for twenty years never to flinch.The silver charm blazed white between us, and the little girl in front of me lifted her chin while a ring of frost raced outward across the black and white marble like ink spreading through water. Her eyes had turned the pale molten color of a winter moon, and the cold that rolled off her small body was so fierce that the polished floor cracked in long glittering lines beneath my boots."You are hurting the necklace, and it does not like being touched by people who are lying to themselves," Lucy said, in a voice that did not belong to any nine-year-old child.I tried to tear my hand away, and the pendant clung to my palm as though it had grown roots, and a voice began to speak from inside the metal, faint and warm and achi

LucyHenrietta's face on the little tablet screen looked older than it had a week before, with hollows under her cheekbones and a gray blanket pulled up to her chin, but her eyes were sharp and fixed on mine with a ferocity that made me sit straighter.Valentine had set the device on the kitchen table of the penthouse and propped it against a bowl of oranges, and he had told me that I could speak with her for ten minutes while he stood guard at the door. The safehouse in Montmartre had been abandoned that morning, and we had all been moved to the great tower beside the river, where Elec's warriors prowled the corridors and nobody was allowed to open a window.I had spent three days listening to the pendant whisper in my sleep, and I had finally decided to tell the only grown-up who would not call me a silly child."You asked me to describe the voice that spoke to you, and I will tell you again exactly what it said, because I do not think that I could ever

HazelThe editor of the Parisian tabloid called Le Miroir received me in an office that smelled of burnt coffee and desperation, and he did not bother to rise from his chair when I entered.He was a heavy man in his fifties with ink-stained cuffs and a cigarette burning in a saucer, and the walls behind him were papered with front pages that screamed about scandals and divorces and the secret shames of the famous. I had never imagined that I would stand in such a room with a manila envelope sweating in my fist, and I felt as though I were watching a stranger wearing my face.The previous night, a photograph of my little sister had arrived on my phone, showing her bedroom in the yellow cottage with the window thrown open to a dark garden and a pair of unfamiliar boots standing beside the bed.The message beneath it had been brief and polite and unmistakable in its meaning, and it had instructed me to deliver the photographs by ten o'clock or to consider wh
