Excerpt:
Kala huffed out a sigh. “Riddle?”
“Um. No. I’m sorry, this is a bit tricky.”
She opened her mouth to respond, and then closed it again with a slight shake of the head. The voice wasn’t familiar at all. It didn’t belong to any of the headmates she knew. For a moment, she wondered if maybe someone else had been born after the stress of the day. It would explain why Finnraal was still impossible to reach.
Finally, she decided to be straightforward. “Who are you?”
“I’m. Well, my name is Percival,” that voice said. “I’m trying to contact you through a dream, but all I see is … I think it’s a well.”
“Then you’re not in my dream,” Kala said flatly. “If I’m sharing dreams with Riddle I’m going to scream.”
“Oh. Ah! I understand!”
