Opening Lines:
"You could always make it look as though you had wings," said Jenny, her voice echoing off the granite walls of the treasure cavern. "A little glamour, just for tonight--" Ivy let the delicate wing-chain slide through her fingers, spilling it back into the chest. "I'm not that good with illusions. Cicely can cast better glamours than me, and she's five." She shut the lid with a snap. "Anyway, why bother? I'm not going to fool anyone." |

Opening Lines:
"Knockers! The knockers are coming!" The shout rang through the fogou, echoing off the rocky walls of the tunnel and into the chambers beyond. The boy had been drowsing curled on the earthen floor beside his clan-brothers; now he was shocked awake as his father seized his elbow and wrenched him to his feet. "Take this and hide it," he commanded, and the boy staggered beneath the unexpected burden of a sack almost as heavy as he was. As he floundered for a better grip, a coin tumbled out of the bag's mouth and rolled across the floor. Instinctively the boy stooped to retrieve it. "Leave it, " his father snapped, spinning him around and giving him a shove. "Get out of here! Quick!" |
