Chapter 11

Sorcha studied the Fae sorcerer filling the doorway. Miach MacCecht was taller and more slender than Elada. His hair was just as short, but it was night black and lacked the hint of curl that distinguished Elada’s close crop. If Miach grew his hair long, it would resemble the Prince Consort’s. An unwelcome thought. His eyes were unlike any Fae’s she had seen, golden, with hazel flecks, and a tip-tilted almond shape that made him look even more exotic than others of his race.

Elada had said that this Fae was his friend, but Sorcha could feel her lover tense beside her. He took a step, putting his body between her and the sorcerer.

“Were you followed?” Elada asked Miach.

“No. I passed. No one knows I’m here. Not even Helene.”

“Liam and Nial must have been tailed to Sorcha’s. We were ambushed by two of Donal’s company when we left the house.”

“And was it Donal’s followers who iron poisoned you?” asked Miach. “Or the bard you’re protecting?”

“I did it,” said Sorcha. She stepped around Elada to confront the sorcerer. “I didn’t know that Elada could fight two of them at once. I was trying to help. So I used my harp.”

“And is that your only weapon, Sorcha Kavanaugh?” Miach’s voice was cold as ice.

“It’s the only one I can control,” she said. “Elada said you could help me learn to use . . . the other.”

“It’s called stone song,” said Miach. “It’s the power to resonate matter with your voice at what you would call the atomic level. And it is powerful enough to bring down the wall between worlds.”

“That’s why the Prince wanted to unleash it,” she said. “Isn’t it?”

Miach looked past her at Elada. “You haven’t told her, have you?”

“I couldn’t be certain,” said Elada.

“Tell me what?” she demanded.

“That your power has already been unleashed,” said Miach. “The final door to Druid wisdom is the taking of a life. You took Keiran’s. Hardly a great loss to the Fae race and likely a boon to yours, but a life all the same. You’ve been an operating Druid since the day you killed him. If your power doesn’t come when called, that’s because you lack focus. I can teach you that.”

“What’s the catch?” she asked.

“Until I say you are capable of defending yourself, you can’t leave this house. If the Prince gets hold of you again, he won’t dose you with Fae wine and attempt to win you to his cause. He’ll torture you until you comply.”

“And Tommy?”

“Your fiddler must remain here as well.”

“No,” said Elada.

“Yes,” replied Miach. “The Prince knows that Sorcha can be manipulated through Mr. Carrell. Until she can protect her friends and herself, she and the fiddler remain under Deirdre’s roof.”

“And Elada?” she asked.

“Will no doubt be welcomed by Deirdre.”

There was an edge to the way Miach said it that suggested a warning. Sorcha ignored it for now.

“Do you really think I can learn to fight him?” she asked.

“Yes.”

“Then let’s get started.”

Elada didn’t like the idea of leaving Sorcha alone with Miach.
