The Bloodshade Encounters & the Songspinner (Shadeborn book 2)
“The townspeople came out in force that same evening to say goodbye to the man they had almost condemned, their faces still etched with the spellbinding purity of his song. As the carriage departed, the young shade looked out of his window at the darkening sky, letting his tongue shift around in his mouth. It felt as though it didn’t truly belong to him anymore.
“Here,” Evangeline said.
Her pale, slim hand was offering him a mirror. He let the reflective circle rise to his lips, almost a...fraid to see what lay within his throat. On his first inspection he was relieved, thinking nothing was amiss, but when he made to speak, Alexander found the source of his new power. The underside of his tongue had turned to shining silver: a thin, icy layer of metal that felt wrong to behold. He shut his mouth and held the mirror in his lap, swallowing a few times where his throat had run dry.
