Doyle cuddled me in against his body and said, “Beware the queen.”

Sholto nodded. “I will be wary.” He began to walk back the way we had come. Somewhere before he vanished from sight I saw the white shine of a dog at his side.

“Everybody remember that the glamour is supposed to hide the fact that we’re naked, and bloody,” Rhys said. “Anyone who doesn’t have enough glamour to pull it off, stand next to someone who does.”

“Yes, Teacher,” I said.

He grinned at me. “I can cause death with a touch and a word; I can heal with my hands for tonight. But damn, conjuring this many taxis out of thin air—now, that’s impressive.”

We walked up to the line of waiting taxis, laughing. The drivers all seemed a little puzzled to find themselves in the middle of nowhere, waiting beside an empty beach, but they let us get in.

We gave the taxis the address of Maeve Reed’s Holmby Hills house, and they drove. They didn’t even complain about the dogs. Now, that was magic.
