The Book of Magic

In May, Franny, Sally, and Gillian arrive in Paris. Agnes serves everyone dinner and keeps the conversation going. Sally is too upset to eat and interrogates Vincent about his gift as a finder. She wants to get started right away, and Vincent agrees. He takes them to Amulette to purchase ingredients for the finding spell. Sally gives him a ribbon that belonged to Kylie as a baby, and he ties it around a wax figure. The proprietor gets an atlas, and Vincent uses the key Jet sent as an amulet. After they swing it over the map, the key points to London.

London is a center of magic and, along with San Francisco and Turin, is part of the Black Triangle of magic. The White Triangle of magical cities is Turin, Lyons, and Prague. The proprietor gives Vincent the card for Ian Wright, explaining that he’s an occult scholar. Ash falls off the atlas when the proprietor puts it away, signaling that Kylie is involved with left-hand magic. The taxi that takes them to Agnes’s place plays Vincent’s song, which Sally had never heard before. She likes him more after hearing it.

They pick up their luggage, and Agnes gives them a bag of magical supplies.
