“I went to give this back to the—the lady. She wasn’t there, but you left Elgar.”
I snatched the pieces from Jurij’s hands. “You went back to the shack? What were you going to say? ‘Sorry we were spying on you pretending you were a monster, thanks for the dirty old rag?”

“I’d like to be excused now.” I stood up.
Half-a-dozen specters surrounded me on either side before I could take one step.
“Sit down,” said the lord behind the black curtain. “Please.”
I did not. “I’m not feeling well,” I said through clenched teeth.
“You have not eaten enough. Food will improve your temper.”
A few well-placed stabs from Elgar the Blade to his abdomen might “improve my temper.”

“My children, I have heard your screams, seen your tears. You stirred my heart at the first cry, and so I leaped from the mountains and fell for ages, watching you suffer for years on end. At last my feet have touched the ground. You are no longer alone”

“Darwyn took a deep breath and smiled at me. “I see you found your way, Your Majesty.”
Tayton grimaced and stepped around Darwyn to sit in the open chair beside me. “Is this another one of those things from your childhood I don’t get to know about?”
Darwyn nudged Tayton’s shoulder playfully with his fist and tugged on the back of his brother’s chair. “The elf queen, remember? I told you about that.”
Sindri got up from his chair and sat in the one Roslyn had vacated so Darwyn could slip in beside Tayton.
“Oh. Right,” muttered Tayton. He did his best to stay grumpy, but I thought I saw his pouted fishy lips almost straighten into a smile.
“Did he leave out the part where he found the whole elf queen thing obnoxious?” I asked.
Tayton shook his head. “Nope. Got that part pretty clear. He probably fancied himself someone who’d eventually usurp you.”

“I cannot leave this castle, Olivière! I do not know one person in this village from the next. I blink and they die. I die and they would not know—they could not imagine the depth of the pain I feel.”

“I need to speak with the lord of the village. It’s … it’s urgent.”
The man scoffed. “I can tell. You seem to have rolled out of a muddy pond and caught your dress on a hundred branches. Perhaps you also bumped into a fair maiden, making off with her apron.”
I forced myself to smile. “Not far off. But the mud is just the color of the dress.”
“Of course. It suits you.”
“Thanks.”

“Well, if it’s any comfort, she’s bound to realize soon enough that you haven’t gone off to die, and you’ll get your dog back in the chaos that ensues.”
