The Granite Key (Arkana Mysteries) - Plot & Excerpts
It was ten o’clock on Wednesday morning. This was the day and time the Diviner had appointed for a weekly progress report. The ordeal was always embarrassing for Daniel, almost excruciating in the way it underscored his incompetence. Every week he could see the feverish anticipation in his father’s eyes when he entered the room and every week he could see that anticipation change to cold disapproval at his lack of progress. He hoped today would be different. “Enter,” a voice commanded from inside. When Daniel let himself in, he saw that his father was in a meeting with two western community leaders. He felt a spiteful sense of pleasure at their crestfallen expressions. Misery loves company. Apparently his father was no better pleased with these two than he was with his son. They scuttled from the room after murmuring a greeting in his direction. Their eyes were downcast, their shoulders hunched as if to ward off imaginary blows. The Diviner had a way of exposing the hidden weaknesses of his flock.
