PROLOGUE
The mother stroked her daughter’s head.
“I’ll be back before you know it. I promise.”
The little girl yawned. “And you’ll come home with Daddy?” She whispered.
Her mother smiled, forcing herself to not show her uncertainty. “We’ll be a family again before too long.”
After the little girl drifted off into sleep, her mother crept from the room, trying not to cry as she packed her things, got dressed in the proper attire, readied her equipment and left the house.
The little girl waited for her mother. Sometimes she would sit on the roof of the house with her father’s old scrying scope, watching for her mother until after midnight. Hours turned into days, days into weeks, weeks into years.
She never came.
It was the first promise that her mother had ever broken to her.
