The Rising (The Alchemy Wars)
“See it done.”
“Immediately, mistress.”
Sparks retreated. The brocade curtain swung free, eclipsing the early-afternoon sunlight and sending Berenice once more into shadow. She’d had the servitor obtain a carriage just after sunrise, after they crossed Bronck’s River and reentered New Amsterdam proper. Soon the Verderers would have every ticktock man in the city on the watch for a woman of her description. Strolling about on horseback, for all the world to see, seemed imprudent.
Then she’d had S...parks drive the carriage to a church roughly midway between the North River piers and the tony Roosevelt Park neighborhood. There she watched in dismay from across the street while six pallbearers carried a lacquered box into the undercroft. Though it was possible her stash of treaty-violating notes and chemical armaments had gone undiscovered during the interment preparations, she couldn’t spare the time to find out. Sneaking into the crypt would mean waiting until dark, but she didn’t dare loiter in New Amsterdam that long.MoreLess
