Mated (Mortal, Book Two)
The vendor, a tall and slender woman with pointed ears, is surrounded by a group of fairies who are haggling over the price of a purple orb.
"It's amazing," Wendy breathes. "I never thought anything like this could exist."
I can't help but smile at her excitement. It's refreshing, considering the nightmare we've been living in for the past few days.
"That's amazing," I say, impressed despite myself.
"I know, right?" Wendy says, her eyes sparkling. "And look at that one over there. I think it's a dragon egg."
I follow her gaze to a stall where a man with a bushy beard is haggling with a customer over a large, iridescent egg that's perched on a velvet cushion.
