The Annals might not be literomancy, I came to realize, but they were still magic all the same. They allowed for the impossible: to take someone, even a concubine trapped in the palace, to another place, another time. It was a warm and beautiful feeling. Like the world had only been for other people before, but now I was a part of it too. As if this country, this dynasty, they could also belong to people like me.
