Excerpt:

The back door opened with a harsh screech of metal as the hinges protested the lack of attention. “You seek a change,” the apparent shopkeeper drawled as he stepped behind the counter.

If Elizabeth was pressed to describe him, she would have little to say. As her eyes danced from one feature to another they seemed to ebb from her memory like sand through the hourglass. She knew he was a man and that he was here now. That was all.

“Yes,” Elizabeth answered when Jack refused. He had danced backward from the counter, retreating behind the tip of his hat. He hadn’t been keen on coming here, but Elizabeth had insisted.

“There’ll be a cost,” Jack had warned her. “The Maestro isn’t as kind hearted a wizard as dear ol’ Tia Dalma was.” When asked to elaborate, he refused. It had taken several weeks of cajoling and nudging to get Jack to ferry her from Shipwreck Cove to this shop, his best guess of where the man could be found now.
