She touched a book bound in a shimmering, iridescent blue material. "This is Siren skin." Tristan grimaced from across the aisle. "Don't touch it. Some of them are cursed to bite." He stopped. He reached up to a high shelf, pulling down a massive tome bound in black iron. It was heavy, hitting the table with a dull thud.
