I paced the room for the next half an hour, trying not to freak out that a second unknown fae was aware of the ‘copper-haired gold-giver’. The Prince had sought me out. And now this owl had been sent to find me by somebody different. What did they know about me that I didn’t?

A heavy truth was trying to settle over me, invading my brain, and my stubborn defiance was failing in its attempt to dislodge its hold.

It was no good.

I stopped pacing, and let the words whisper into my head.

I can’t run from this.

Both because of Svangrior’s threat to my friends, and because I needed more information.

I needed to know why the Prince had sought me out. I needed to know who the fae who had sent Voror was, and what they knew. And I needed to find out what my part in whatever this was, before I could make any kind of bid for freedom.

Movement made me look at the window. Voror drifted through the glass, then landed gracefully at the end of the bed.

I picked up his feather from where I’d put it on the desk. “You’re back.”

“I have completed my hunt,” the owl announced, ruffling his feathers. “And now, as promised, I shall tell you what the fae female said to me, word-for-word. She said: Voror, mighty and wise owl. You are required by the ancient ones to assist the copper-haired gold-giver. Give her one of your feathers and she will be able to communicate with you. This is a dangerous quest that could change the course of Yggdrasil’s future, and the fate of all the fae and humans who call it home. Good luck.”

My eyebrows shot up as I gaped at him. “Ancient ones? Change the course of Yggdrasil’s future?”

“That is what she said.”

“What kind of fae was she?” Desperation to know more was burning through me.

“I do not know.”

“Well, what color hair did she have?” That was usually a sure way to tell what kind of magic a fae had. Ice-fae had blue hair, gold-fae had white, and so on.

“Her hair was… made of light.”

“What?”

“Do you have problems with your hearing, or is it your inferior intellect that requires me to repeat myself so often?” I narrowed my eyes at the owl, and he shrugged his feathers. “It was made of light. My sensitive, superior, eyesight struggled. A little.”

“Do you know of any fae who have hair made of light?”

“No. Or I would have answered your earlier question about what kind of fae she was.” His tone was dry.

“Voror, I’ve had a long day. A long few days. I’ve been kidnapped. I’m supposed to marry a murderous maniac—at least until I help him with some secret plot, after which he’ll probably kill me. And now you’re telling me I’m connected to the fate of the whole of Yggdrasil. Oh, and I almost got eaten by a bear a couple of hours ago. I’m going to need a little longer than usual to process information. Okay?”

The owl tilted his head.
