Jean was finishing a letter to her brother and his wife when her hand jerked, spattering ink across the page. Nikolai was in danger. Though she had known initiation was dangerous, she hadn't expected him to be threatened so quickly. Nor did she expect the danger to be so hard to define.

She laid down her quill, careful not to spatter more ink, and closed her eyes.

She had been connected to him since they met, but now that connection was gone. He had vanished from her internal awareness. Heart pounding, she searched for him with increasing desperation.

Nothing.

She forced herself to calm down before she fell into shrieking pieces. He was undergoing a magical initiation, surrounded by African priests, and it was certainly possible that the ritual might cut him off from her questing magic.

Adia had believed that Nikolai had a good chance of surviving. And if she was wrong and Nikolai was dead—well, the priests would bring the news to Santola soon enough.

Since there was no longer a connection between Jean and Nikolai, it wasn't even possible to send him any of her energy. There was nothing she could do but try the oldest magic of all.

Locking her hands and closing her eyes, she prayed that somewhere, the damned man was alive and well.
