Summary

Marie could have managed horrible dreams. The soldiers who returned from the trenches missing arms and echoes in their eyes, they had horrible dreams. Everyone had nightmares. She dreamed of Papa tangled in the barbed wire, split in half by a winter hail of bullets as he drowned in mud, but that was normal.

Instead, ever and even before the Great War to end all Wars, horrible thoughts constantly bubbled up. Marie didn't know where the thoughts came from or even why.

The Comtesse Melusine de l'Eau could have told her that they came from under the skin.

It’s only when he’s halfway through the window that Al realises the awful truth: someone hasn’t been telling him the truth. But it’s only when he finds the antique lamp his so-called uncle is after, and a gorgeous half-naked bloke appears in a puff of smoke, that Al realises he’s really in trouble. Shame that by then, it’s already far, far too late . . .
