“Is that the farm?” Jaxon asks suddenly. His eyes are narrowed as he stares far into the distance, and my stomach twists. I would be lying to myself if I didn’t recognize how hard this must be on him as well. All of this must seem like the place where he lost me. His gaze swings to mine, slides down to Hudson’s and my joined hands before sliding away, and I want to go to him and tell him how sorry I am. But then he turns to Flint, who is flying straight toward us, one wing dipping at the last second and nearly sweeping Jaxon’s feet out from under him. I gasp, expecting Jaxon to yell at him, but he surprises me and laughs instead, shaking his head as he mutters affectionately, “Asshole.” Then he takes off in a run, jumping up and shifting into a giant amber dragon at the last second—and chases after Flint, who is now flapping his wings like his life depends on it.”

“But then he’s there, the side of his arm brushing against my shoulder as he, too, makes a noise beneath his gag that sounds an awful lot like my name. Because of course Hudson, the hero of Vegaville and the Shadow Realm, can find a way to talk with a gag over his mouth.”

“I’m in hell,” Jaxon opines to no one in particular as he stares in horror at the shelves. “In actual hell.” “You’ll be okay.” Flint plops a snow hat that reads “I do it like Hudson” on top of his boyfriend’s head, then pulls out his camera. “Here, let’s take a selfie.”

“So, while the Hudson-Grace brain trust tries to figure out leverage against the queen—which something tells me the Bloodletter here is going to know how to get, since it was her evil sister who started this whole mess—we need you to stop dicking us around and give my bestie here a straight answer about how to travel between realms safely. So, do you think you can do that, or are we going to have a problem?”
