I froze in place and my heart pounded in my chest as my head drowned with what felt like a million thoughts.

Had I heard Finnick correctly?

Did my son mean to tell me that Lila was a sorceress?

I knew he didn’t know the word “sorceress” nor did I explain to him what kind of tricks Raven had played during that visit to our chamber. So, there was little chance that he was making this entire thing up. Besides, Finnick wasn’t a liar.

I forced down the lump that had formed in my throat and searched for the right thing to say. If this was truly the case, I needed to speak with Lila and try to get to the bottom of what was going on.

A child sorceress… it was a concept I’d never considered before, but it made a great deal of sense. Raven, Roxy, Ronald… they all probably grew up with the ability to wield magic. To someone who didn’t possess such abilities, it all sounded so fantastical and incredible.
