“I think Zemenar is trying to find out something about the Caves of Fire and Night,” Kazul said. “Something he hasn’t been able to learn from visiting the caves

in person, hence his recent interest in histories that describe the caves, however briefly.”

“And you’re hoping I have something in my library that will help you figure out what it is,” Morwen concluded.

“I don’t hope,” Kazul said. “I know. Unless someone has run off with your copy of DeMontmorency’s A Journey Through the Caves of Fire and Night.” <p>

“If someone has, he’ll regret it,” Morwen said.

“Wait here, and I’ll check.” She rose and went out.

Through the doorway Cimorene could see a room full of tall, dark-stained shelves.

Cimorene blinked. “Isn’t that the door you came in through?” she asked Kazul.

Kazul nodded. “Of course.”

“I suppose you’ll want to borrow it?” Morwen said.

“I certainly do,” Kazul said. “Is there a problem?’

“Only if it gets stolen,” Morwen said. “There are very few of these around, and I’m not sure I could replace it.”

“I’ll keep it in the vault with the treasure,” Kazui promised. “Zemenar won’t think to look for it there, and even if he does, he won’t get in. I’ve got enough anti-wizard spells on the door to stop the whole Society.

They can’t get in unless someone invites them.”

“All right,” Morwen said, handing the book to Kazul. “Is that everything you came for?”
