Chapter 42 The High Priest

• We’d made it to the waiting area just outside of the hall and behind some curtains so that none of the guests would see me when I heard Theodore’s voice. The soft murmur of everyone inside came to an abrupt halt, and I straightened in my spine, leaning to hear what was going on. A knot of unease twisted in my stomach. Why would Theodore call a halt to things?
• I looked over at Kincaid and Lily. Lily stepped out to go see what was going on. I waited a few moments before Lily came back.
