But then he rolls his eyes and gives me a half smile. Fine. But if you must give me the Mark of the Beast, at least put it where I don’t have to see it constantly. Such as? If we want to be in keeping...
Miss Kate! Kiernan exclaimed, pointing. What happened to your toes? What? I glanced down, half expecting to see a leech or a cut or some other trauma, but there was nothing odd. What are you talking a...
Kiernan. I had a sudden memory of the small, scuffed-up shoe I’d seen just before I fell. He must have snatched the bracelet when the crowd gathered around me. If I managed to get out, I resolved to g...
A few seconds later, I heard Katherine’s voice from below. Kate, you have a gentleman caller. I rolled my eyes. How is it that a grandmother from the twenty-fourth century sounds like she’s from a Cha...
And with that, he began walking at a rapid clip toward the Sixtieth Street station. Several members of the crowd I’d just pushed my way through came over to help me up, and one rather gallant gentlema...
I always dreamed ’bout ridin’ the big wheel, Mick added, looking down at his shoes with a plaintive expression. But me mom needs all the money I c’n make. He glanced around at the others and then back...
Do you still have the tux you wore as Boudini? It’s in the loft at the cabin. Why? You’ll need it in order to pose as a server. Unless you’d rather be a male companion? No thanks. An evil little part...
So why didn’t he vanish? Charlayne nods toward Kiernan. After Max took his key, he should have disappeared, right?I would have, Kiernan says, except someone was wise enough to give me a backup when I...
Kiernan hoists one of the bags and slips the strap over my shoulder. I grab the other one, and soon I’m loaded like a pack mule, lugging two bulky military duffels in addition to my backpack.Trey lean...
The Kiernan kid was there when it happened, near the back of the barn. He’d been hanging out earlier with a younger version of Simon and this electrical engineer we recruited. Kiernan helped them set...
Kiernan, the less you know, the better. You’re always telling me to just trust you and do what you’re asking, and I do— He snorts. When it suits you. Okay, but I do when it seems important. And this i...
Kiernan reaches to pull out my chair, but I beat him to it and then nudge the chair across from me out about six inches with my foot. He pulls it out the rest of the way and says, Thank you, dearest,...
Kiernan gives him a suspicious look. You performed at the Expo? Yes, Bess answers. Along with his brother, Dash. They headlined as The Brothers Houdini on the Midway Plaisance. Really? Kiernan shakes...
Where's Kiernan? I asked. He's with Brother Cyrus. Your turn.The blood drained from my face and I stepped back, toward the wall. One of the older women, Glory, had died from a heart attack the year be...

He pushes his chair back and goes to the kitchen. Are you hungry? Yes. I’m thinking Kentucky Fried Rooster. There’s another chorus of cock-a-doodle-doo just as I finish speaking, and he laughs. Henry’...
Verse after verse follows, her voice rising to a crescendo and then falling, only to rise again with a new passage, each echoing the same refrain. I never realized how many verses of the Bible boil do...
Kiernan spins around nervously, eyes flicking between the door we just entered and one at the other end of the room. You forgot to mention the guards. , Pru!Why? You’ve got a gun. And Evie says your f...
