In the darkness of the rat’s deepest thoughts, Jaide suddenly saw a light bloom, a light that also brought Jack into view. He looked frightened and dirty, and he was backed up against a brick wall that curved over his head. He seemed to be staring right at her.

‘Jack, it’s me! We’re coming to get you!’

Jaide’s voice echoed back at her from the walls of Grandma X’s house. She didn’t know how to speak with her mind as Grandma X did, so she was just speaking aloud – but something did hear her nonetheless, something heavy and dark and terrible that crashed over them and said in a voice that tried to drag her down into the darkest halls of memory—

+We see you, Jaidith Fennena Shield. We see you!++

The light flared. The darkness struggled against it, briefly but intensely, then abruptly snuffed out the light, taking Jack with it.

‘No!’ Jaide recoiled, tripped and landed on her backside in the drawing room. Spots of black danced in her eyes. Above her, Grandma X quickly snatched her hand off the rat. Kleo jumped up onto the desk and butted her head against the woman’s side.

All traces of the darkness vanished with the breaking of that contact.

‘It is already so strong!’ exclaimed Grandma X, wiping her hand across her brow. ‘But at least we know where Jackaran is now, that he has managed to evade it so far, and my . . . our . . . intervention will have given him some more time. Where the shadows are darkest, light burns most brightly. If only he can keep away from it . . .’

Jaide got to her feet and clutched at Grandma X’s arm urgently, adding emphasis to her question.

‘What is it? And what does it want with Jack? With us?’

‘It wants you for the same purpose it wants every living thing in this world: to absorb you and make you part of itself. As to what it is, well, no one knows exactly where it comes from, and it has no name in any human language. It just is.’

‘You must call it something.’

‘We do,’ said Grandma X gravely.

She looked older and wearier than Jaide had ever seen her before.

‘We call it The Evil.’
