No generosity was withheld, no sacrifice begrudged, and no pre-emptive strike or vengeance too terrible should something come between them. Love was undiluted for Eugene, as things are for the Hidden Folk."It has been years since Christopher first began his journey in Seth's shack, squatting and giving up his old life to chase magic and the unsettled spectre of loss.
