The silver rod Madera held was small, not much bigger than a swizzle stick. The sphere at the end of it glowed orange-red.

I grabbed Caeran’s hand and held his gaze. He didn’t resist. Maybe he’d already seen the thing, or seen it in my thoughts. I wrenched my mind away from it, and out of desperation, sang.

“Sorry her lot who loves too well,

Heavy the heart that hopes but vainly …”

Gilbert and frickin Sullivan again. And could I have picked a more depressing song? Never mind, keep singing.

A coloratura I was not, but I’d sung Josephine in high school, and I managed not to sound too much like a dying cat. I kept my eyes locked on Caeran’s until he closed them. I imagined I could feel the heat as Madera came to his other side.

The healer laid a free hand on Caeran’s chest. A hiss and the taste of searing flesh as I drew breath to sing the next line.

The skin around Caeran’s eyes tightened in pain. I wrapped my free hand around his and kept singing, ignoring everything else.
