Xalara stopped at precisely the correct distance for formal presentation, neither presuming equality nor adopting excessive subservience. "Place the case upon the table," he instructed, gesturing toward the prepared surface etched with the same harmonic patterns that had protected the bottles in the cellar. "Then step back while I verify the alignment." She complied with careful precision, setting the carrying case exactly at the center of the etched patterns and opening it with the specific sequence the steward had demonstrated. The three bottles gleamed in the sunlight streaming through the crystal roof, their contents swirling with captured firelight that cast golden shadows across the ri

Selene’s POV The soft brushes swept over my skin with practiced ease, the makeup artists murmuring among themselves about tones and contours. I sat still, half-listening, my eyes lingering on the open book sprawled on the velvet chair beside me, the old witches' text I had discovered in the library. The pages were aged and brittle, yet the power in the words still pulsed like a living thing. Every line I read about blood oaths and forgotten deities made me more certain, Gazelle wasn’t just a threat from the past. She was planning something dark. Something terrible.

He didn't need much light, he'd never worked well under bright lights. While he searched for any particular book to answer his numerous questions, his hands bumped against a large hardcover book. It was arranged towards the end of the cabinet and it was a really large book, deep brown with golden cursive writing titled "The Art Of The Greek Numbers."

The place was stuffed with portraits, carpets, and sculptures, and the wooden walls were so intricately carved with flowery patterns that she almost felt sorry for even imagining burning it up. A massive chandelier in the middle of the room lit up the entire place, and she saw that the adjacent rooms were just as lavish and filled with things.

Everything on his desk and cabinets was neatly arranged in strict order. The books in his cabinet were arranged alphabetically from A to Z. There was not a book out of place, except … Larissa suddenly noticed something unusual. There was a book shoved into a corner of his bookshelf that was nearest to his office chair. It was a high school physics textbook, seemingly out of place in Kevan's office. Through the glass, Larissa could see that the physics textbook was very old. Some parts of its spine were worn and the pages were yellowish.

"I want to. I'm conserving one of his right now, called Lady Percival. I was hoping to find out a little more about the provenance on her. She's had some heat damage, and it's melted the lacquer over the title of the book she's holding. I really want to know what that book is. Like a secret I need to discover." "Yay!" She clapped and did a little bounce. "It's his birthday exhibit,” I pretended to count on my fingers. "Let's see, Sir Tristan would be two hundred twenty-eight?"
