Extract
Aliya Sultan did not understand why her grand -father thought that having afternoon tea withsphinxes was ‘safe and harmless fun’. She could think of about a zillion things she’d rather do on this hot summer day than play riddle bingo with a bunch of mythicals. But being twelve years old, and a recent survivor of an attack by the most dangerous criminal in the time-travel world, meant that Geddo’s opinions about her safety overruled all her wishes and complaints.
