Charlie crossed her legs, shifted onto her hip, then straightened up again, realizing that she’d been sitting there so long, there was no longer any comfortable way to sit. After hours of waiting, she was beginning to give up hope, but walking away was admitting defeat, and she wasn’t ready to do that yet. If she didn’t get in to see Sebastian today, she’d just come back the next day, and the next, until he finally agreed to see her.

They’d been playing this same game every year since she’d come of age, and she was sure that this year her perseverance would pay off. Letting her mind wander, she thought of everything she’d done over the last year to prepare for this meeting: all the training, all the studying. It made her stomach hurt to think that Sebastian could brush it all off with a flick of his wrist just because she was a woman.

The sound of the door to the office opening brought her out of her increasingly angry thoughts, but it was only a messenger carrying a stack of envelopes. “It’s about time. Where have you been?” Samuel’s assistant asked, his voice hard. “Do you know how long I’ve been waiting for you? You’d better hope he doesn’t ask who delivered these.”

The messenger turned pale and quickly handed over the stack, then backed out of the office, apologizing the entire way. “Stupid boy,” the assistant mumbled under his breath as he sorted through the stack.

He knocked on the office door, and without even noticing that she was still there, disappeared inside.

Charlie didn’t think about what she was risking as she crept over to the door and peeked through a crack. Sebastian was sitting in a huge leather chair, looking out his office window at the park that surrounded the building; his assistant was standing next to the desk, letters in his hands.

“I hate to bother you, sir,” the assistant said.

“Then don’t,” Sebastian barked. “Can’t you see I’m busy.”

“Yes, sir, but the messenger was just here, and I have word from Prospect Falls,” the assistant said, his voice quavering.

Sebastian swiveled his chair around, and she had to jump back, afraid that he might see her. “Well, what are you waiting for?” Sebastian demanded. “Give it to me, Thomas.”

Thomas held out the bundle of envelopes. “I can’t read all of that,” Sebastian said. “Just tell me what’s in there.”

After taking a deep breath, Thomas said, “There’s a request for a demon hunter and a natural witch, both formally sent through the council.”

Sebastian turned his chair around and looked out the window again. “That surprises me. I never thought Adam would ask for help,” he said.

“But, sir, with a
