Bronach's Map
A map of Tír na nÓg with a little star showing each Unseelie Gate. The other side of the paper shows gates in the human realm. An important tool, as you need to visualize where a gate is before you can go to it. Audrey steals the map, along with a gold bracelet that unlocks any Unseelie gate, from Bronach's cabin, which allows her and Gavin to remain on the run, a step ahead of Moriath's wolves and the Huntsman.
I did, using the bracelet to hold the edge down as I stretched it flat on the table. The page was a map. I guessed it must be Tír na nÓg—the mountains and coastline looked vaguely similar to the rough map Gavin had drawn in the dirt. It showed castles and creatures, all outlined in black, but glowing gold against them were a handful of stars, pulsing on the page.
“These are all the gates?” I counted thirteen of them. Most were in the northern section Gavin had said was the unseelie kingdom, but two stars twinkled in the south. Did the seelie fae know about them?
“All the unseelie gates,” she said. “Now turn it over.”
I flipped the parchment. On this side was a map of my world. It had hundreds of stars scattered over all the continents. I shivered, thinking of all the empty cages in the witch’s cottage. I hoped stealing the key and the map would make life difficult for her.
