Reliquary (Reliquary Series Book 1) - Plot & Excerpts
Really early. It was three in the morning. We drove across the desert terrain and stopped in a tiny town called Green River. Asa’s plan was to leave Gracie with an earth mother–type named Rosie who ran the local magic den. Apparently she owed Asa a favor, but she greeted both him and the dog warmly. Asa gave her a list of instructions and provided Rosie with all of Gracie’s homemade dog treats, her bowls, her bed, her arthritis medication, and her eyedrops. It was hard to mistrust a man who was clearly so devoted to his dog. I waited outside while Asa shared a long good-bye with Gracie, and stayed silent when he emerged quiet, his eyes a little redder than they had been. Then we ditched the van. We made a quick stop in another tiny town, Richfield, at a dusty used car lot. Asa had a brief negotiation with a beefy guy named Marty who smelled like he’d just bathed in gin, and we drove away in a gray Subaru Outback with California plates. Asa made yet another stop in the town of Beaver (I kid you not), where we put all of his toolboxes except for one in storage.
