Pryor nodded and returned to the records. Lira remained with him to help. Raith left with us while Sera Tollowed me into the hall. Caius stopped to speak with him before joining us.

Sera looked at my necklace again.

“Your mother gave you that?”

“She left it for me.”

I wondered how much Derek had known when I was growing up. Had he known Garron Thome once received a stolen Celestial child? Had someone told him where I had been sleeping? There was one
