Adrianna froze.
"It seems that there was something that called her, something that she was familiar with, something that knew that Iona was a witch with immense powers."

"You have to tell me about everyone who was with Iona at that time, if you find out about the guards or people close to her, I may be able to get hold of it better."
"I will let you know," she said, rattled at what he revealed. "This means that there was something already going on in the palace, something very sinister…"
"Yes," he sighed. "I wish I was there with her."
