“You’ve heard of the coven along the coast? Call themselves Stray Kids. Their leader, Bang Chan, has petitioned us for permission to perform a leyline renewal along the eastern cliffs. Their number was eight—” Minho’s jaw tightened. “And now it’s seven.” “Precisely. They require another witch to complete the circle.” He knew them, of course—every witch did. The Council’s prodigies turned pariahs: powerful, unpredictable, inconvenient. Years ago, one of them had vanished mid-ritual, and the story had travelled through covens on whispered breath. Dark magic, betrayal, maybe both. Since then, the Stray Kids had lived like ghosts—present on parchment, absent everywhere else. Not a mission he wanted. But refusal wasn’t a privilege he owned. “You’ll observe the ritual,” continued the High Warden, “ensure compliance, and report any deviation from approved sigilwork.” He inclined his head. “Understood.” OR Minho was sent to oversee a routine ritual. Observe and report, those were his orders. Instead, he uncovers a rebellion, a past written in dark magic, and a place he never meant to belong.
