Mother May I (Knight Games book 4)
“The water witch lived in a log cabin along the river, and she was indeed new. Poe had seen her chopping wood the human way, presumably for a fire. He estimated her age in the early twenties, although it was hard to tell with witches. Magic kept us young. Even my half-sister Polina, who I estimated to be more than one hundred years old based on the age of the magic mirror she made for me, looked no more than twenty-five on her worst day. Still, I hoped the water witch was both young and inexperi...enced. We needed all the help we could get.
Once Julius was awake, we drove to a nearby patch of forest and climbed to the top of a hill overlooking the river. “Her name is Elana Woodsworth,” Poe said.
“How’d you find that bit out?” Polina asked.
“Open mailbox,” he said. “I wasn’t going to get close to the woman while she was holding an ax.”
I watched the curl of smoke rise into the night from her stone chimney. The rush of water down the river beyond acted as a reminder that although Elana was new, any witch was dangerous.MoreLess
