Book of Shadows

Ada Thorn

1781

The penmanship was pure cursive, and it was beautiful. The blue ink almost rippled with history as I cast my eyes over it again and again.

1781.

That was a long, long time ago.

What if magic had changed since then?

I took a deep breath and flipped to the next page carefully. It was full of the same writing, but it was written in a form of English I couldn’t understand. The most basic words had been substituted for other words, and I almost cursed at myself.

Of course.

Why would I be able to understand this? This book may as well have been from a different world. Back then, when Ada Thorn would have been writing this, English was a totally different language.

Until…

The pages blurred.

The words changed.

And it was written in today’s English.

I dropped the book like it was on fire. What the hell was going on? No book was supposed to do that.

“It’s spelled,” Snow said sleepily. “Any descendant of Ada Thorn is able to read it in a language she’ll understand.”

“You could have told me that before I opened it,” I grumbled, picking the book back up.

“Nah. It’s more fun when you flap like a chicken. Gives me nice dreams.” She rolled onto her side and got comfortable.

“How do you know that? The language?”

“Magic. If you listened to yours, you’d have known.”

Of course I would have.

I went to respond, but Snow was already asleep. At least, she was pretending to be.

Ugh.

Cats.

Why couldn’t my familiar be a dog?

“Heard that,” Snow muttered. “And it’s because dogs are dirty, disgusting, needy creatures.”

“From the cat who demands tuna on a daily basis.”

“Be thankful I don’t demand sushi from you. I’ve seen that Nobu place on the Internet.”

“No more reading the Daily Mail for you.”

“How else will I get my Kardashian drama fix?”

“They have an entire show dedicated to it. I’ll get you a subscription to Hulu.” Provided it’d work here. “Now, shut up.” I put my hand over her face for a second and turned my attention back to the book.

A warm tingle of magic washed through my body as I touched the book again, dancing beneath my skin, and I smiled.

The power in this book was immeasurable—but it didn’t want to hurt me. It only wanted to help me.

I took a deep breath. The magic in the book called to me. It felt familiar now. Like a part of me that was encased in paper and ink and leather.

I ran my finger over the page. It was thick but old, crumpled and stained and torn at the corner, but it only added to the charm of the page.

With the words now readable, I leaned back against the headboard and rested it on my thighs.

Then, I read.
