It was Linnet who brushed her hair back from her face and took her hands and steadied her when she swayed. “Lady?” she said. “Keri? What is it? Was this something—did Brann do something?”

“Of course he did,” Domeric growled. He reached past Linnet, took Keri’s arm, and lifted her effortlessly to her feet. “What did that bastard do?”

“It wasn’t him,” Keri whispered. But he had done something, or he had— “He’s gone,” she said, realizing it for the first time. “He’s gone. He’s no longer in Nimmira. He did have some other door waiting somewhere. Or, no, Magister Eroniel reached through a door and took him. It was Magister Eroniel, he did it, I know that. He tried to break Nimmira open like a—like a man smashing a nut with a hammer.” She caught Domeric’s wrist, balancing with some difficulty, her eyes widening with dismay as she realized exactly what the Wyvern sorcerer had tried to do. She breathed, “He tried to use Cort to break us open. To fling wide every door in the whole of Nimmira.”

Domeric braced her, frowning. “That silver-tongued bastard! Him, was it, and not Aranaon Mirtaelior himself? Huh.”

Keri found herself nodding, though she didn’t know how she could be sure it had been Magister Eroniel and not the Wyvern King. But she was certain.

“But he couldn’t do it,” said Linnet, patting Keri’s hands. “You stopped him. Or, the Doorkeeper stopped him?”

Keri nodded again and then made herself stop. She swallowed. That was exactly right. Magister Eroniel had tried to break open Nimmira, and Cort had stopped him. That was what she had felt. But she had no idea what that adamant resistance might have cost Cort. She was desperately afraid it might have cost him everything.
