Hours later, we were ready. Grey and I had come up with a plan with the help of the others, and then Beatrix and Mac had gone to Eve to get the potions we would need. Grey and I had headed over to the Fae dress shop. The proprietor had connections with the antique costuming community, and we’d found proper attire for the seventeenth century.

I pulled at the bodice of my heavy black dress. We’d gone as simple as possible, as far as fashion was concerned, but the skirt was still wide and the three-quarter-length sleeves full. The dress exposed much of my shoulders, though we’d topped it with a cape. It was enchanted like my other dresses had been, giving me a bit of extra strength and protection.

The plan was for me to blend in as a possible acquaintance of Grey’s. He was meant to be himself, though we’d have to deal with the past version of him, which would take some doing.

We stood in the library, just the two of us in the small waiting room at the side. Seraphia was off doing something else, and Mac and Beatrix hadn’t arrived yet. I looked over at him, attired in all black—breeches, tall boots, and a doublet that looked a bit like a stiff, formal jacket. He held a wide-brimmed hat that he would put on when we arrived. It wasn’t his usual look, but it wasn’t bad, either. “I can’t believe you ever got rid of your old clothes.”

He gave me a perplexed look. “I’m hardly the sentimental type. And we’re lucky that ruffs had gone out of fashion by the time that book was written.”

I laughed at the idea of him in a tall, fancy collar. He didn’t wear a wig, though they had been popular then. He never had, apparently.

The door to the library creaked open, and I looked out, spotting Max and Beatrix. Max held up a leather bag. “Got your potions.”

“Thank you.” I stepped out of the small waiting room and saw Beatrix more fully.

Her eyes were wide and sparkling as they met mine. “This place is phenomenal.”

“Glad you like it, because you need to live here now that all of London thinks you’re dead. I have no idea how you’d get along back there.”

“That’s fine with me.” She looked down at her hands, her brow furrowed as if she expected to see something there. “I just wish I knew if I had magic.”

“You do,” Mac said. “You turned into a raven, for fates’ sake.”

“That could have been Carrow,” Beatrix said.

“Nah.” Mac shook her head. “Her magic did something to you when you died, that’s for sure. But I doubt it turned you into a raven.”

I nodded. “That’s my bet, too.”

Seraphia appeared from the back of the library, her hair a bit messy from whatever she’d been getting into. “Ready?”

I cut my eyes to Grey, who nodded. “Looks like it.”

“Good.” She gestured for us to follow, then turned around. “You’re going to want to be as quick as possible.
