b'Witchcraft is a gift. Imelda would wave her steel spoon at Mercer and insist on this as he measured ingredients for her, whether she was boiling potions or a pot of farfalle pasta. Watch the salt, a teaspoon only, never pour too much. Don\\u2019t overheat the sauce. Bottle the hawks\\u2019 gizzards separate from the basilisks\\u2019. Never half-ass a gift, Mercy. Her perpetual imperative. Mercer is alone now. His hands are unsteady---they\\u2019ve shaken like a drunkard\\u2019s since they held Imelda as she passed---and he is no witch. | Copyright 2021 by Sarah Grey.
