Days turned into weeks, and neither Emily nor Ozzy had managed to make anything of Grey’s collection of notes. The chilly drafts of autumn seeped into the cracks of the castle like a poison, and winter whispered through the shivering trees like a promise. To make matters worse, Catherine and Camilla had rekindled their twisted friendship, the two girls inseparable once again with one small difference: Catherine was taking her incompetence with spells seriously, spending more time with a book in her hands and her backside in a library chair than with her nose in the air.

“Don’t you believe in breaks?” Ozzy moaned. He cleared the last step up to North Tower with a huff, arms laden with yet another haul of library books. “We looked at all the books you remembered from Grey’s room. There’s nothing important in them.”

“C’mon, Ozzy.” Emily tried to sound cheerful over her own ominous stack as they melted through the door to North Tower, the effect like passing through a pool of cool water, but the effort was exhausting. “It’s not so b—ouch!” The toe of her sneaker snagged on the carpet, and she stumbled, her books teetering in her arms.

“What happened?” Ozzy threw his stack onto a vacant table in the lounge with a huff.

Emily scanned the ground and sighed. “I’m so tired I’m tripping over my own feet.” She settled into her favourite chair by the fire while the faint sound of dragon cries shook the windows, the voices high and playful and much too soft to be anything as large as Titan—hatchlings. Cute.

“Another reason to take a break,” Ozzy said with a dark look at his bag. “What did you end up taking?”

Emily thumbed through the titles. “I’ve got volumes three through seven of the Migellus Chronicles and Ancient Spells for Ancient Minds Who Can Still Remember That Far Back.”

Ozzy slumped in his chair. “Migellus has been all over the world and discovered too many magical artefacts to count. We’ll be here all year trying to pinpoint what Grey was after if it’s got to do with Migellus. And I’ve already been over binding spells. They link you to an object, but you have to see and touch what you’re binding yourself to. Not useful to us.”

Emily frowned. “One thing is still bothering me, though.”

He snorted. “Only one?”

She tossed a book from hand to hand. “I know I’ve heard of Migellus before, but I can’t remember where.”

“He’s famous. You probably read his name somewhere.” Ozzy pulled the Scroll out of his bag and began flipping through headlines with a practiced hand. “Have you spoken to Catherine at all lately?” A loud thump across the room cut them off, a book falling off a shelf or a door slamming shut. “You know, since that day with Grey and the fire.”

Emily shook her head. “She’s talking to Camilla again, so I think Catherine’s a lost cause.”

Ozzy rolled his eyes. “I don’t get you girls—enemies one day, swapping first kiss stories the next. Didn’t you say Catherine wasn’t so bad on her own?”

“She isn’t,” Emily said.
