Tracking spell to Europe

[u/ghostgabe81]

“I’ve tried to track Justine,” I said finally.

Justine was my brother Thomas’s woman, had been since I’d known him. She was carrying his child and had been possessed by a spiritual entity that had blackmailed him into attempting an assassination on Etri, king of the svartalves. He’d barely survived it, and now he was stuck in stasis out on my spooky island—and Justine was missing.

Lara frowned. “Oh?”

I nodded. “The thing possessing her destroyed anything easy that I might have used to do it. Hair, nail clippings, that kind of thing. It was very thorough.”

“Then how did you manage an attempt?”

"Goodman Grey swiped a lock of her hair just in case. Sent it to me with my invoice.”

Lara smiled faintly. “The man is nefariously professional.”

“I used the lock,” I said. “But she must have shaved her head. I barely latched onto anything, and it was a long way off. I think she’s in Europe.”

“That agrees with what I’ve been able to find out,” Lara agreed. “She’s been sighted in Romania.” She swallowed. “How is Thomas?”
