Professor Ilma didn’t make a fuss when Sebastien slipped back into the room halfway through her lecture, despite the distraction this seemed to cause the gossip-hungry other students.

Siobhan was struggling, desperate to escape but trapped in a body that wouldn’t listen to her commands, as if she’d been drugged or partially paralyzed.

Thaddeus made his way through Harrow Hill Penitentiary’s cafeteria, a squat, dark room that carried over the feeling of confinement from its cells. He took coffee and a small breakfast, adding a few drops of his own specially prepared wakefulness tincture into the cof...

Beneath hundreds of meters of white stone, in a small room carved into the most secret of places and illuminated only by light crystals, stood four people. To the left side of the doorway, a human woman sidled a little closer to her male companion. On the right side, their boots still muddy, waited one man with ginger-orange ...
