Here’s a very brief snippet from Dark Enchantment. This happens as Kieran is drawing Charlotte all the way across the country to the Black Tower using magick. Piefferburg is the last place in the world she ever wanted to go. Niall, a secondary character, is driving her through the Boundary Lands.
“All will be revealed once we reach the Unseelie Court.”
Her spine snapped to attention and she gripped the seat in front of her, leaning toward Niall. “The Unseelie Court?”
He cast a look of disbelief over his shoulder. “Did you think we were going to the Rose, the tower of sunshine, lollipops, and unicorns that poop rainbows? No fae with juice dark enough to bind and compel a human all the way across the country is going to be Seelie, woman.”
And, of course, if she’d thought about it, she would have realized that.
She sat back in the seat with a thump. This was getting worse by the second.
Niall glanced at her in the rear view mirror. “It’s not that bad. The Unseelie aren’t all the boogeymen the media has made us out to be.”
She blinked. “An entire Faemous crew was once eaten in the Black Tower.”
“Oh, yeah, that.” Niall shrugged one impressively broad shoulder. “It was the goblins. What are you going to do?”
That part made me giggle just a little.
