“The idea that Danvers had been killing naiads just to get Willow to toe the line seemed excessive, even for a creep like him. And why kill them in such a gruesome way? Willow was a prize—beautiful, intelligent, and kind—but I couldn’t shake the feeling that I was missing something. I went downstairs to Eternity Road.

He hadn’t said anything, but I knew he was trying to keep track of how much of the g...reen fairy I’d been drinking. I sat on the desk and poured myself a healthy shot, but kept the bottle out. It was a lot of responsibility, the weight of a prophecy on my shoulders. But it was more than that. I heard a noise. I reached for my knife, but it was only Talbot. “Jesus, Nyx, I almost brained you. I thought you were a burglar.” “And I almost gutted you with my athame,” I replied. “I guess we’re both on edge.” “Want some company?” he asked. The truth was, I didn’t, but he’d just pout if I told him to go away.MoreLessRead More Read Less
