The Mark Of The Dragonfly (2014) - Plot & Excerpts
“Isn’t he with you?” The boy wouldn’t be that stupid—not after she’d promised to help him … would he? “He said he was coming to the shelter with you.” Jory swung his lantern around, as if he could root out Micah from one of the dark corners. The shifting light reflected off the faces of the townspeople, many of whom had turned to watch the disturbance. “Weir, didn’t you check his name off the list?” one of them said. The merchant strode forward, glancing at his papers by the light of Jory’s lantern. “Yes, here it is—name’s checked off. He must have slipped away after I counted him.” He fixed Jory with a look of deep concern. “I’m so sorry, boy. So careless of me.” Piper knew better than that—and so did everyone else in the shelter. Weir’s sharp eyes never missed anything that went on in town, and he’d never “accidentally” let someone slip past him, especially if it meant that person might find something valuable in the fields before he had his chance to scavenge—unless that person had promised him a cut in exchange for his looking the other way.
