Joan’s father eventually joined them in the sitting room, the shadow of guilt surrounding him a palpable thing. She’d seen James clasp his hand as they looked over a page together.She hated for her father to blame himself when she’d been the reason Robert Cecil had invaded their home twice now.

Bia launched from her arm, enlarging to full size. She snatched the sword from the air as she leapt to her feet. “Get out of my godfather’s shop.”“Release Pearl and leave this place, as she said.
