Sneak peek
“All that I’m wanted for.” My voice broke, my throat threatening to choke. “And although I’ve wanted more… My sister’s and I are the most powerful team you could ever find in the Spiral. Y-you must trust us, because it’s not what it seems.”
“Not what it seems.” Caspian repeated quietly. Suddenly, he was in front of me, staring down. Trapping me by the corner near the fireplace with his arms, his shadow loomed over me like a titan. Strangely, I was overwhelmed; but not afraid. “You and your sisters are going to go to places that I’ve never been, and its going to be extremely dangerous, even for you. It’s going to be a hell of a lot of work and danger, and if I can’t be there to make it easier… You’re going to get hurt.”
Them or me? I thought. “Then we are going to get hurt.”
Caspian shook his head, his dark hair tickling my forehead. “If something happened to…I couldn’t live with myself.”
There was a large bang, and the door flew open. In a flash, Caspian was about five feet away from me, and my sisters barged in. They didn’t seem to notice Caspian, but Abby was staring at him in shock. I wondered what she saw.
