showed the Archives in complete disarray. Open books were scattered across

every available surface, and people were rushing everywhere.

“When was this?” I asked, certain it had to be when the Archives was hit.

“The day he escaped. This place was flooded at the same time the marid

attacked Bentham Prison. It was a distraction. Four hours later, Kahanov

showed up.”

A few seconds into the clip, a bright box appeared on the screen, isolating

a figure who was moving warily through the shadows. For one second, he

“That’s him?” Savannah asked, a soft tremor in her voice. She’d never

Savannah swallowed hard and nodded.

Neve slipped her phone into her pocket. “He went directly to the Bound

through the archivist’s notes on the thing. It’s a guide to the monsters and

realms of the Dreamlands. It promises, of course, unimagi

those that learn its secrets and sleep with their head upon the book.”

My pulse accelerated. “Could he use it to invade the dreams of others? To

Neve nodded. “According to the notes, yes. It can grant the power to

infiltrate and shape the dreams of others. Possibly more.”
