Behind them, faeries pushed closer, scuffling and chattering.

The old woman gave Keenan a searing look—her white eyes shining—and said, “She’s different than the others, dear. Special.”

“I already knew that, mothers.” Keenan wrapped an arm around Aislinn’s waist, half hugging her, like he had a right to pull her closer.

He doesn’t.

Aislinn stepped away as far as she could with the woman holding her hand.

All three women sighed, simultaneously. “Fierce, isn’t she?”

The one still holding Aislinn’s hand asked Keenan, “Shall I tell you just how different she is? How special this one will be?”

Every faery there suddenly stopped talking. They were all watching openly, transfixed and gleeful, as if a horrible accident were happening in front of them.

“No.” Aislinn pulled her hand free and grabbed Keenan’s arm.

He didn’t move.

“As special as I’ve dreamed?” Keenan asked the blind women, his voice carrying clearly to the faeries who pushed forward.

“There are none you will meet so rare as she.” The three women all nodded, eerily in sync with one another, like three bodies with one mind.

Grinning, Keenan tossed a handful of unfamiliar bronze coins to the women, who unerringly snatched them out of the air, their hands moving in precisely the same arcs at exactly the same moment.

I need out of here. Now.

But she couldn’t run. If not for the Sight, she wouldn’t have reason to react so strongly: the women weren’t any stranger than most carnies.

Don’t expose yourself. Remember the rules.

She couldn’t panic. Her heart still beat madly. Her chest felt tight, like she couldn’t breathe. Hold it together. Focus. She needed to get out of there, get away from them, back to Seth. She shouldn’t have come. It felt like she’d walked into a trap.

She stepped away from the women and pulled on Keenan’s arm. “Let’s get a drink. Come on.”

He pulled her closer to him and went with her to the door, past the crowd of murmuring faeries.

“She is the one.”

“Did you hear?”

“Send the message.”

“Beira will be furious.”
