Excerpt
The gray owl, Ashton, soared to my right, grumbling. His wings stretched wide as he banked, then leveled, blocking the light underneath. I yawned. It was midnight. Sky and water had merged into a seamless curve. Three quarter moons hovered over the ocean, pouring beams like milk. We’d searched for hours with no luck. I circled in crow form—gliding through the air like a fleeting apparition, scanning with my magery-enhanced eyes—but nothing stood out. The seascape shifted like a kaleidoscope, making me woozy.
Are you sure they’re due here this evening?
I shook off stupor. They were sighted three days ago, less than two hundred leagues off.
Somewhere below, an illegal shipment of potions approached land. I had to find the boat, a dark spot amid the glitter.
Ashton tutted. The Dayonian coast is long.
