Chapter 15: The Queen's Terms
I did not wake the guards, because I did not need a door.
I went out through the broken roof and down the wall, the way I'd climbed trail-crew cliffs.
Hera's house stood at the highest terrace, behind a garden of white peacocks.
They screamed when I walked through them.
She was sitting at a small table in the middle of the lawn with a cup in her hand.
"Sit," she said.
"Where is my mother?"
"Safe."
"Where?"
"In a place with a good view and no door," Hera said.
"You may see her."
She lifted two fingers.
Across the lawn, a dome of clear glass rose out of the grass.
June sat inside it on a stone bench with her braid undone.
She was pounding on the glass with both fists, and I couldn't hear a sound.
My legs went toward her before I told them to.
A peacock feather turned to a blade in Hera's hand, and the blade rested lightly on my collarbone.
