everything right. Used the correct ingredients. It’s her hair so it should’ve worked perfectly.”
    “ Unless your magic is being blocked by someone else.”
    “ Helena,” Devlin spoke as he approached the altar. “Is that possible?”
    “ Anything’s possible. You know that. My only question would be why?” Vivien’s voice betrayed her cool exterior at the thought that someone she trusted, and had brought into our small group, could be responsible for this.
    “ We won’t know until we find Darcy. Is there anything else we can do?” I interjected.
    Her brow furrowed again. “If my magic is being blocked, I’m not sure there’s much I can do. Unless . . .” Her gaze darted toward Devlin.
    I looked at him. “What?”
    “ Sometimes when I’m stumped over a problem or lonely, I talk with my spirit guide. Those who have passed on can often see things that are hidden to us who remain. I’m sure if I contact her, she may be able to shed some light on this.”
    “ Her? Who?” I was intrigued and confused all at once.
    Again, Vivien watched Devlin like she was waiting for him to disagree.
    “ In the dark here, guys. If your spirit guide can help, I think it’s worth doing,” I coaxed.
    “ It’s my sister. Vivien’s friend on the other side is my sister, Elynor.” The revelation explained her hesitancy. “I agree with Mason. I think this is definitely a situation that warrants it.”
    “ Will you be okay?” I knew how much I loved my sister; and even though Devlin had lost his long ago, the pain from that kind of loss never really disappears.
    His smile almost convinced me. “Yeah. I miss her and wish she were here. It would be nice to sense her, no matter the distance.” My heart hurt for him.
    “ So, will she appear?”
    “ I can summon her, but I don’t think we need to do that straight away. Most times I use an Ouija board and communicate through that.” Vivien looked around us to Daniel. “The board is over by you on the middle shelf. We’ll set it up here on the rug and sit in a circle together. That is unless . . .”
    “ I’m fine, I promise. You’re giving me a complex, dear friend.” Devlin chuckled. “I appreciate your concern, though.”
    Replying with a brisk nod, she accepted the box Daniel handed her and we all took our positions.
    “ Now, we each need to lightly touch the pointer, careful not to guide or direct it, so Elynor can speak through it without impediment. I’ll invite her to join us and ask her questions. Ready?”
    With everything set up, the moment of truth had arrived. I couldn’t help but admire how stalwart Devlin appeared, proving the depth of his love for Darcy. It was obviously no easy task as the grief of losing someone still had the power to affect you. I recalled the crushing blow of remembering I’d spent my Heart or Death trials with my beloved sister, and how desperately I’d longed for just one last glance at her, a chance to hear her scold me for being an over-protective bear of a brother.
    “ Blessed Mother, grant my request. Bring my dear sister in heart and magic forward and speak. Allow Elynor to step closer to this world and share her wisdom with us. In all things, my gratitude is full. Blessed be, sweet Mother. Blessed be.”
    Again, a subtle shift in the air gave away the presence of power. It felt familiar, yet feminine, and I realized it was the sign that Devlin’s sister had been granted permission to come. He must’ve sensed it too, as he stiffened slightly before relaxing, his face softening with brotherly love.
    “ Dear heart, I come to you with something of dire importance. I have questions that remain unanswered.”
    The pointer jerked to life and I watched in awe as it slowly spelled out I-A-M-H-E-R-E. S-P-E-A-K.
    Devlin’s jaw pressed tighter as emotion flooded his face.
    “ Thank you,” Vivien spoke softly. “Darcy, a daughter of your posterity, is in trouble. We believe she is being affected by magic. Is this
