Shirley Hollister pushed back the hair from her hot forehead, pressed her hands wearily over tired eyes, then dropped her fingers again to the typewriter keys, and flew on with the letter she was writing. There was no one else in the inner office where she sat. Mr. Barnard, the senior member of the firm, whose stenographer she was, had stepped into the outer office for a moment with a telegram which he had just received. His absence gave Shirley a moment's respite from that feeling that she must keep strained up to meet his gaze and not let trouble show in her eyes, though a great lump was choking in her throat and the tears stung her hot eyelids and insisted on blurring her vision now and then. But it was only for an instant that she gave way. Her fingers flew on with their work, for this was an important letter, and Mr. Barnard wanted it to go in the next mail. As she wrote, a vision of her mother's white face appeared to her between the lines, the mother weak and white, with tears on her cheeks and that despairing look in her eyes. Mother hadn't been able to get up for a week. It seemed as if the cares of life were getting almost too much for her, and the warm spring days made the little brick house in the narrow street a stifling place to stay. There was only one small window in mother's room, opening against a brick wall, for they had had to rent the front room with its two windows. But, poor as it was, the little brick house had been home; and now they were not to have that long. Notice had been served that they must vacate in four weeks; for the house, in fact, the whole row of houses in which it was situated, had been sold, and was to be pulled down to make way for a big apartment-house that was to be put up.

Hi. My name is Konrad Scalagari. I’ve written this book just for you. I know, this is supposed to be a blurb telling you about the book. The thing is, while you’re reading this, everyone else is reading a description of a science-fiction adventure with super soldiers, guts and glory, and spaceship battles. It’s just part of the magic to cover my tracks while I explain this to you. I know you don’t understand yet… but you’re a member of the Scalagari family, too. Who are the Scalagaris? Good question. The Scalagaris are one of many highly secretive magical families in the world. We specialize in using knots to bind enchantments. Oh, and we’re criminals—sort of. Think of us as part Robin Hood and part magical mafia. Capisce?The Enchanted Knot is the story of how I figured this out, and went from clueless teenager living in a trailer park to being rich and infamous (and landing on INTERPOL’s most wanted list).Read this. Right now! You’ll need to know these things when we come looking for you.
