\u201cDo you always keep scraps of fabric in your pockets?\u201d \u201cYes,\u201d she answered, matter-of-fact. \u201cIt\u2019s useful. Shall I tell you all the reasons why?\u201d Draven shook his head, managing to hold his tongue. If he had answered, he would have sounded too pleading and childish. By the gods, please don\u2019t, he would have droned. Matris, entirely unfazed, waltzed over to Draven and wrapped her fingers around his arm, tugging him behind her as she escorted him to the balancing beam they used when practicing their footwork and sword fighting.<\/p>\n

She turned to face him. \u201cGet on the beam,\u201d she instructed. \u201cAnd take this.\u201d She held out the beige fabric to him. \u201cWhat?\u201d \u201cI needn\u2019t repeat myself. Your ears work just fine. Now do as I instructed.\u201d A low growl rattled in the back of his throat. Still, he did as he was told. When his feet were securely in place on the beam, fabric clutched loosely between his fingers, Matris pursed her lips as she studied the scene.<\/p>\n

\u201cYes,\u201d she mused lowly, more to herself than anyone else. \u201cThis will do perfectly.\u201d Draven glanced at his brothers, who were watching them with rapt curiosity now. He fought against his urge to blow out a deeply unsatisfied sigh. \u201cPut it on,\u201d Matris demanded. His brows furrowed. \u201cPut what on?\u201d \u201cThe blindfold I gave you.\u201d It took Draven a moment before he was able to understand what she was saying. Eventually, his brain put it all together, and he glanced down at the fabric dangling in his hand.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat\u2014you mean this?\u201d He waved the cloth around for good measure. \u201cNo, I mean the other scrap of fabric resting in your hand.\u201d She made an impatient gesture. \u201cObviously that is what I\u2019m referring to. Now, put it on so I can attend to the other two thorns in my side.\u201d \u201cWhat in the gods am I supposed to do on a high beam with a blindfold covering my sight?\u201d<\/p>\n

We follow our beloved dark magic wielder at the young, formative age of fourteen, and while there are plenty of cozy moments, adorable characters, and exchanges that squeeze your heart, this story is not one of complete warmth.<\/p>\n
