Was there anything that might have Taylor’s trace on it so that I could pull through right to her? I had nothing. I was going to have to count on using my own trace to get to the hangar. I touched the bracelet Elle had given me and activated it. Magic swirled around me. My stomach churned uneasily as I dropped into trace mode. I reached inside, uncertain what I should do next. Usually, I grabbed for someone’s trace. I decided to pick up Cass’s, letting myself fall into the soul-chilling cold. Once again, I found myself inside the ribbon jungle. The shield spell vanished. The cold seeped into me, faster than before. Maya had healed me all she could, but my body—no, my soul—hadn’t fully warmed. I couldn’t be here long if I hoped to help Taylor at all. I hadn’t been to my sister’s hangar for about five months or so. “Riley? What are you doing back so soon?” I jumped and faced my mother.
