章 41: Chapter 41: New Council

Sassafras perched on my lap, looking down over the heads of the gathered witches as the new Council came into session. It was weird how packed the place was considering how many witches we'd lost. But it appeared no one wanted to miss putting Erica and her council out of their misery and I guess I didn't blame them for that.

The new Council members filed in, Femke sitting off to one side with a handful of representatives of the other councils watching silently. I had no idea what deals they'd made or how the new Council had been chosen after those initial first steps, but if Femke was watching over them I knew I had nothing to worry about.
