to matthew, for the soapstone to allison, for telling me dashiell was the wrong name and to both of you, for being amazing siblings seven years ago while some rooms on the estate had monsters hiding beneath the beds, tella swore her mother’s suite concealed enchantment. hints of emerald light dusted the air as if fairies came to play whenever her mother left. the room smelled of flowers plucked from secret gardens, and even when there wasn’t a breeze, the sheer curtains billowed around the magnificent canopy bed. above, a citrine chandelier greeted tella with the musical sounds of kissing glass, making it easy for her to imagine the suite was a bewitched portal to another world. tella’s tiny feet made no sound as she tiptoed across thick ivory carpets to her mother’s dresser. quickly, she stole a look over her shoulder and then snatched her mother’s jewelry box. slick …

slipped it on in case she’d grown. but this day, right as tella slid on the ring, she noticed something else. the chandelier above her stilled as if it, too, had been caught by surprise. tella knew every item in her mother’s jewelry case by heart: a carefully folded velvet ribbon edged in gold, bloodred scarlet earrings, a tarnished silver bottle that her mother claimed held angel tears, an ivory locket that wouldn’t open, a jet wristlet that looked as if it belonged on the arm of a witch rather than her mother’s elegant wrist. the only item tella never touched was the dirty-gray sachet, which smelled of moldy leaves and charnel-sweet death. it keeps the goblins away, her mother once teased. it kept tella away as well. but today, the ugly little purse flickered, drawing tella toward it. one moment it looked like a bundle of rot and smelled …

tom of the card. tella shuddered. she did not like the name, and she was not fond of cages, even pearly ones. suddenly she had the feeling that her mother would not want her seeing these cards, but that didn’t stop tella from turning over another. the name at the bottom of this one was the prince of hearts. it showed a young man with a face made of angles, and lips as sharp as two knife blades. one hand near his pointed chin clasped the hilt of a dagger, and red tears fell from his eyes, matching the blood staining the corner of his narrow mouth. tella flinched as the prince’s image flickered, there and gone, the same way the foul sachet had wavered earlier. she should have stopped then. these cards were definitely not toys. yet a part of her felt as if she was meant to find …
