Blitz, Audio Book

Blitz, Audio Book (2022) Daniel O’Malley narrated by Moira Quirk (The Rook Files)

“What is this? You’re—what? You’re—you’re scrying my family? In a cup of coffee?”

“Legally, scrying is seeing the future,” said the woman. “I’m showing the present. Of a location within a 36.876-kilometer radius. Through an aperture of up to 41.34 inches.”

“Is it magic?”

The woman shrugged. “It’s just something I can do.”

“Truthfully, I continue to be uncomfortable with the idea of a group of people wielding such power and authority in this country simply because of a freak happenstance of birth.”

“As you are a child of the aristocracy, I would expect you to understand it quite well,” said Lady Carmichael evenly. “The key difference is that we are expected to lay down our lives as a matter of course due to this happenstance of birth.”
