    Summary

    “Oh, hey,” Jonah said as he clicked through the citations. “Here’s a study from the nineties. It found that sixty, uh, sixty-three per cent of dæmons studied re-settled into their original form or a very close variation thereof. Those are good odds, right?”

    “Sure,” said Ruthie, still not opening her eyes.

    He waited for her to pick up what he was putting down. She was for sure picking up what he was putting down. She was his dæmon. It was pretty much impossible for her to misunderstand him.

    After major life events and personal crises it's surprisingly common for adult daemons to revert to their unsettled state. It's usually temporary.

    Summary

    “Jonathan,” says Evy, walking straight into his living room without so much as a hello and standing directly in front of him. Her voice is saccharine, so sugary that it puts Jonathan’s teeth on edge. “Did you happen to become a bestselling author while Rick and I were in Luxor over summer?”

    Jonathan clears his throat, sinks a little lower in his armchair, and lifts yesterday’s edition of The Egyptian Gazette higher, obscuring the blush he knows he can’t control.

    “I have no idea how I’m supposed to answer that, dear sister,” he replies, “seeing as I have absolutely no idea what the current bestselling novels are.”

    When Jonathan writes an adventure—definitely not a romance, thank you—novel based on the whole Imhotep debacle, he doesn't expect it to become the bestselling pulp sensation of the decade. With hindsight, perhaps he should have made some of the real life parallels less obvious, especially when it comes to the dashing romantic lead, Abir Rey.

    Thankfully, there are no bookshops in the desert, so the chances of Ardeth reading it are blessedly slim.

    Probably.
