    Summary

    Exactly what it says on the tin . . .

    Isn’t it?

    OR: “I named you after my mother.” Adelaide says, spin straighter than a whipping switch cut from a Hawthorn tree, eyes downcast demurely on the hands kept busy with her sewing, perfectly content with her womanhood and the atrophy and the curdling of the angelic power in her veins because of it. “Annabel Hartwood. Annabel born of Adelaide born of Annabel.”

    Summary

    The credits for Roman Holiday were just starting to roll on the L. A. Institute’s TV when Octavian Blackthorn yawned (small mouth open wide enough to swallow an even smaller bird) and toppled over to lay in Malcolm Fade’s lap.

    Summary

    The boy her father brought home from the town’s orphanage was the inverse of her image, as if she had taken one of her sketches and held it to the looking glass on the wall of her bedroom. He was her reflection, wrong in all the ways a reflection always was.

    Summary

    “What's next on our grand world tour? Where are we going?” Her laughter, her happiness, her lack of fear — the fact that she was here and whole and healthy — were a balm on the festering wound that had hollowed Malcolm out for nearly his entire life.

    “Anywhere. Everywhere. Anywhere you want to go we will. You go, I go. You go, I follow. You know that. You know that.” He was desperate to reassure her that he would not question her, would not abandon her. Not again. Not this time.

    There was a moment of silence broken only by the soft, whistling sound of Annabel sucking air through the endearingly crooked gap between her frontmost teeth. “And where do you want to go?”

     

    Or: Annabel Blackthorn and Malcolm Fade have a dinner date in Paris, France. Everything is as it seems. Isn’t it?
