Love POV “A puppeteer is inside the castle gates,” I say. The heavy oak door swings back with a groan. Cordelia steps into my private chambers. Her fingers lock around the frame. “What did you just say?” Cordelia asks. The air between us turns cold. A puppeteer spell is ancient. It is a dead art.

“You're suspended in mid-air, and you're part goat. Pardon my French, but what the bleeding heck?
