The Devil You Need (2013)
“ The only good thing about my situation, if there was a good thing, was that Dialle had apparently decided to underestimate me. He hadn’t given me a chance to tell him about my newly charged battery so he believed he could hold me with a little magic.
Wouldn’t he be surprised when I got loose and went to kick his ass? Lovingly of course. He deserved it for tying me up. And for thinking I was too weak or stupid to escape. He should know better. Leaving me to my own devices was never a smart mov...e, especially when I was desperate.
And fear for Dialle and my friends had made me very desperate.
I pulled power from my core and sent it into the magic cuffs. The silver light of my power illuminated the cuffs and the chain that trailed to the rock wall behind the bed.

Nothing. But the power I was using to illuminate the chains was heating them.MoreLess
