For thirty years John Dee had prayed and stared into the glass, and it had shown him nothing but his own face. Then a young man with a false name and a cap he never removed looked into the stone to work a fraud, and saw something look back.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat the angels offered was the language spoken before the Fall, the tongue in which to name a thing is to command it. Dee wrote down every word. He did not know that each word is paid for out of the speaker: a year here, a memory there, a face, a name struck from every record. His scryer could see the price, and had begun to lie about it, because the lie was the only mercy left.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHe would give the whole of himself for one true word from heaven, and he would be answered, and the bill would come due page by page, until a man who wanted above all to be remembered had arranged, without knowing it, to be forgotten.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBeverly McLeod\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTrace Press\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Falcon's Binding, a standalone novel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePaperback and hardcover, 6 × 9, 200 pages\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Trace Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44628270579754,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0709\/0228\/4330\/files\/forty-eighth-key-front.jpg?v=1785271408","url":"https:\/\/northlume.org\/products\/the-forty-eighth-key","provider":"Northlume ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
