Here's a small unedited excerpt of what to look forward to:
"Why do you think we were called?" Jake asked. "What do you think happened?"
"No clue." Marco said with a shrug that nearly made him crash into the ground. "It must be serious because not everyone here has intelligence. I mean not everyone is from the Intelligence Department."
"Shut up, Marco." Rachel said with an eye roll.
"Marco is right." Cassie interjected. "It's unusual for Elfangor to assign a team that isn't from the Warrior Department."
Cassie's true familiar Aftran, a Hoarfrost Mauler, walked beside her and seemed to be forming theories of her own. The familiar looked like a bear with shards of ice protruding from her back, elbows, and knees. Something in the Skydancer had been able to tame the wilder sides of Aftran.
"It might involve the demons." Aftran said after a moment's silence. "At least in some way. If Elfangor wanted a team that would attack ruthlessly and survive, it would not be this one. Cassie and Mary both are adverse to violence."
"I can kill just as well as any dragon." Mary said weakly.
"I have no doubt. But you won't be able to react as quickly as Rachel or Jorah."
