Manny sat at the counter, sipping an espresso. “And Olivia Berman’s mom works in the rare books department at the library,” he said, glancing up at Gloria, who was busy making breakfast.

Maekar and Melisandre descended the spiraling stone steps, their footsteps echoing into the depths. The chamber they entered was smaller than the ones above, but what it lacked in size, it made up for in mystery.

Narrow corridors branched off in all directions, each entrance framed by a hea...

“Fuck,” he muttered.
