Summerkin (2013)
“Twig sat hunched on the back of her sodden mount, and Phouka stood with his head down, staring fixedly at the lake, Fray beside him.
Worry about Rook rattled around inside Fer and made her pace along the edge of the lake, kicking at pebbles. What was he doing right now? The kind of trouble he could get into in the human world was very scary and serious. Even in the countryside where Grand-Jane lived, there were dangerous weapons, and cars that ran people over, and people who wouldn’t understand... what a puck was. And time passed far more quickly in the human world than here. Rook had been gone for only a little while, but that would be at least several days in that world, which meant she had to get to him fast, before he started to fade.
She felt a buzzing in her bones—the bees were back. She bent over the water and opened the Ways, and the bees smashed through the gleaming surface of the lake and swarmed around her. Blinking droplets of rain from her eyelashes, Fer watched as they hovered, waiting to lead her through the right Way.MoreLess
