“In the early hours of the day, the library was the one room in the shelter that would be empty of people. Because it was situated at the back of the building, the room benefited from a row of clerestory windows. The lemon-coloured light streaming through them hinted that winter was finally giving way to spring. It was bright enough for Lizzie to negotiate through the short stacks of books, so she kept the lights off. The soft lighting and grey shadows suited her mood.”

“She wouldn’t allow herself the release of tears. To feel nothing was far better than allowing her heart to feel her dark despair. Her hand crept to her throat, seeking comfort in the cross around her neck. It felt heavy and cold against her skin.”

“As she ran into Madison’s bedroom, she was hit with the smell of expensive perfumes clogging the air. Shattered glass from several perfume bottles, pots of face cream and jewelry lay strewn across the polished concrete floor where someone had swiped them off the dressing table.”

“Letting out a delighted laugh, she held up the small figurine of a faerie up to the light to examine it more closely. The faerie wore a short pink skirt and was crouched on a lime-green toadstool, her face uplifted. Maria had painted the faerie’s skin a light opalescent blue but the hair and eyes matched Lizzie’s colouring.”

“Vivienne smiled warmly. She reached behind her and snagged her purse from the back of the chair. ‘This may help. It’s a new elixir I’ve been working on for you. Just put six drops into a cup of hot water and take it before bed.’ She handed Lizzie a small amber vial.”

“The little girl looked up to where Lizzie stood on the church steps as her mother struggled to open the door of the nondescript building. The little girl’s eyes widened, a radiant smile spreading across her face. ‘Look, Mama, an angel,’ she said pointing her mittened hand at Lizzie.”

“She had seen it in Madison’s eyes and heard it in her voice whenever Richard had called her-the fear, the panic to smooth things over before annoyance turned to rage. Yes, there was a darkness looming over Madison no magick or charms would protect her from.”

“‘The most common tool all of us guardians use is a memory fog. In time, Madison will be able to cast it. It’s a simple charm that’s easy to maintain, less concentration than a glamour. If I’ve come in contact with someone and I’m concerned about my identity being revealed, a memory fog makes it impossible for that person to remember exact details of what I looked like or what I said.'”

“She pulled it out and opened her palm to reveal a small leather pouch ‘What’s this and how did it end up in my pocket?’ She held out her open palm for Vivienne to see. “Although he gave it to you without your knowledge, in a way it’s a gift and it’s now yours. It’s best you keep it. It, and the magick it contains, belongs to you now.'”

‘”I am happy for you that you’ve found your place in life, but being part of that world isn’t mine.’ As soon as she spoke the words, a vision of the little stone cottage flashed before her eyes. She shook her head to dislodge the picture from her mind.”
