We haven’t much time.”īrendan nodded back and glanced at the other Daoine Sidhe. Luke bowed slightly toward Brendan, as much as he could while still keeping his fingers in mine. I wasn’t sure whether the Queen or Eleanor was the peacock, but neither of them looked pleased with the comparison. “Did I not tell you it would be this door? Don’t you look a fool now?” She wiggled her fingers toward the Queen and Eleanor, who stood behind the Queen holding a covered cage. Una spiraled over to where Brendan had stopped, tweaking his mount’s reins to hear the bells again. Despite everything, I caught my breath, struck with wonder. All of their bells should have made a cacophony, but instead there was an endless rippling chord of stunning melody. Behind him, a half dozen more horses pushed their way through the crowd, all dapple grays with coats reflecting the colors around them. Bells around the horse’s hooves jangled with each step, and bells hanging from the reins trilled as the horse spooked at a ring of dancing faeries. He looked nearly as regal as the Queen, winding his way through the reveling faeries astride a dapple gray horse draped in bells. “Come here!” Brendan’s voice conveyed the worry that was absent in Una’s face.
“Keep your distance,” the Queen warned, and lifted a hand. Eleanor’s eyes widened as Una slid out from behind her, moving soundlessly. “Not so quickly,” whispered a voice, equal parts song and chant. “I do not see the Daoine Sidhe,” the Queen said to me. His eyes met mine, but he didn’t say anything as he stepped slightly behind me. Luke held out a hand Thomas accepted it and pulled himself up.
