The Warlock (The Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel #5)
“To any casual observer, they looked like two elderly ladies, one tall and thin but strong, the other short and frail, sitting under a large candy-striped umbrella drinking iced tea and nibbling chocolate chip cookies. But these were no ordinary ladies: one was almost seven hundred years old, and the other … well, Sophie doubted if the other was even human.
Both women turned to look at her, and although they were beneath the dark shade of the umbrella, their eyes were glowing—green and gray—givi...ng their faces an alien appearance.
Tsagaglalal beckoned Sophie out of the house. “Come here, child. Sit with us. We have been waiting for you.” She had not spoken English, but Sophie understood her and recognized the ancient language of Danu Talis. When she went to stand by the old woman, Tsagaglalal caught her hand. “Have you no kiss for your favorite auntie?” she asked, reverting to English.
Sophie jerked her hand away. She had no idea what this woman was—or even if she was a woman—but she was definitely no relative of hers.MoreLess
