    About this ebook

    Some say that Magic is forbidden; others say that it is dead, or never existed. The foolish will stop at nothing to unlock its secrets. However, some secrets are best left buried, and all magic comes at a price. For those souls who cannot pay the price, The Highwayman is sent to collect.

      1. Here there’s no rainy season.Sun scalds my forehead,yet the pool is empty. Beside it,a toppled table, its glass surface shattered.The asphalt is too hot for bare feet. 2. Far away: white hillocksand white dunes under a deepblue sky. Swirling winds
