After everything that Litha said, I’ve started to look at the books on the shelves a little differently, more seriously. There has to be a way that we can use them and actually win, there has to be a way to use them to our advantage.

Right now, we’re a group of barely-trained teenagers, and we’ll probably have to face a lot of well-trained soldiers and stuff like that when we go to the fae kingdom. So we need something to even the field, anything, and the answer has to be in these books somewhere.

“What are you staring at?” Litha plays her fingers over my back, sending shivers down my spine.

I laugh awkwardly, surprised. “Nothing. Which is kind of the problem...”

She steps next to me, putting her head on my shoulder, her arm around my waist, making herself comfortable against me. “Any books about magic we can use?”

I point to the top shelf in front of us. “Offensive magic. Make things go boom and things like that.” I point to the middle two shelves. “Location and other navigation magic. How to find your way, how to find someone or something else, whatever you want.” Bottom shelf. “Random stuff I have no idea how to interpret. Seems to be a mix of all sorts of things.”

She laughs, such an easy laugh, making me smile too, tension leaving me a little. “Lots then. Too much.”

“Yes.” I slide my arm around her waist, pulling her closer. “But I feel like we need some sort of plan before we dive in. Something to work towards, a guide, a map, anything.”

She nods slowly. “I know. Just picking up random books isn’t going to get us anywhere.”

“How about a spell to keep us hidden? Like the one you used in the town, but in a way that’s less draining on you?” Bane pipes up from the couch, where he’s reading one of the books about plants, making notes on the paper next to him. It would have been nice if his parents had left us a list of all the plants available here, but they haven’t, so we have to figure each of them out ourself. He sits up a little, looking over. “Even if it’s not possible to make it stronger or less draining, at least you’ll have a direction to look into? There are so many books here that we didn’t have access to at the academy that there has to be something useful in them, even if it’s not what you expected to find, right?”

I shrug. He’s right. Finding a hiding spell would probably be a good idea, especially if we’re going to hide ourselves during the night when we’re travelling in the fae kingdom. Then something occurs to me. “Hey, wolf-boy, why were you sneaking into the tower with the off-limit books when you’ve got all this here?” I turn to him while keeping Litha close.

“Wolf-boy?” He glances over the back of the couch, looking way too smug. “Because it’s fun? Why else would I do it? It’s fun to sneak into the tower and other places we’re not supposed to be.
