Comet Rising

Today I read Comet Rising. MarcyKate Connolly is the author. Lucas gets upset about something Dar said about him losing his parents. He storms off, leaving Emmeline with Dar. Dar tells Emmeline more about Lady Aisling, whose power is to eat magic. The Lady ate her magic years ago, which was shapeshifting. Dar turned into a lost soul, which means she’s not dead, but not quite alive either. Emmeline soon puts Dar back in her bag where she keeps her, thinking it’s a trick to get her to let Dar go. That night, Lucas walked away to get firewood. Dar complains that she is hungry and Emmeline gives a few pieces of food. Dar pretends to choke, and Emmeline takes her out of the cage to save her. Dar lets down her facade and runs away, leaving a crying Emmeline. Emmeline feels guilty and used, scared to tell Lucas. When Lucas comes back, he asks her what’s wrong. She explains what happened, expecting him to be mad. He forgives her, and this makes her more determined to stop Dar and Lady Aisling. They go to find the Rodens who have a magical son named Doyle and hope they help them.
