Magister Orion's booming voice wakes me from the unsettling dream, though it's too much work to open my eyes. I'm exhausted. My body feels like it weighs a thousand pounds. My ears tune in before I'm fully awake.

"How safe are we here?"
"It's impossible to tell. The High Fae have already taken one family into custody for insurrection, but it's possible there are more. It's as though everyone's lost their minds."
That doesn't sound good.
My eyes snap open and I struggle to sit up, pleasantly surprised my body's aches are gone, even if I still feel heavy.

The timing is suspect. We can't contact anyone outside this place, and now there's civil unrest?
My mind reels, leaving me dizzy. "Does this happen often?"
"No, never." He clicks his tongue, running a hand over his face in frustration. "There have always been struggles of power, but they never involve the city. Assassinations, maybe. Financial destruction. Things of that nature. Too many powerful families have allied to keep peace in this sanctuary; no one can stand up to their combined power."
"Until now," Marcus says, surprising me. I didn't realize he was here.
"Until now," Magister Orion echoes with a sigh. "Too many people are missing. The body count keeps rising"
