We reach a wall with steep stone steps. The haze from the heat gathering above has distorted everything into an orange-tinged blur.

“After you, Virgil,” I say. “You are the guide, you go first.”

Virgil starts to climb; Elinor and Medusa follow. I stop to tuck my axe into my backpack, blade first with the handle protruding, as I cannot hope to climb such a steep incline one-handed, but Mitchell pulls me aside as I am fastening it.

“Virgil said there were five of us here,” whispers Mitchell.

“Ignore the old fool,” I reply. “Elinor was right. There are times when you sound like the female of the species, my friend.”

“But he said the fifth smelled like burning flesh. That’s what the Skin-Walkers said, when we were at Stinson Beach, remember?”

“But there are only four of us,” I say.

But Mitchell is shaking his head. His grip on my arm intensifies.

“I think Virgil’s right. I think Septimus has sent someone else into the Circles. You know that bright light we keep seeing streaking past us? What if it’s someone immolating? Someone who’s always angry?”

“You cannot mean . . . ?”

Mitchell nods furiously.

“Yes. I think Jeanne is here.”
