"I know." Nibbling the side of my finger, my brows pull together. Why would he tell me to keep it safe, knowing it might be too dangerous?
What were the words he used again? They seemed significant.
"Ava, I need you to tell me you're not going to the Blackwood territory."
Jerking my head up, I blink at Vanessa's worried stare. "I'm not going. I'm just trying to think."
My brain's dead set on remembering what Magister Orion said.
What was it?
Call my book?
Yeah, that's it.
"The book is useless to anyone even if they find it," Marcus says, his words soft. Is he trying to comfort me? "Don't worry, Ava. It'll be a paperweight. Or, if we're lucky, they'll be allergic. Like Selene."
He is trying to comfort me.
How sweet.
"That's if we assume they don't know how to open it. The knowledge has been lost to us, but there are Fae involved now, remember?"
