Carter and Amber return to Lilac Valley to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival with Mrs. Li.

"Nothing," Carter says. "It's too quiet. Your father and sister must've masked their scent or Con and Clari would've found them by now."
"And the shield?" Amber asks.
"No word yet," Carter says. "One of Isabella's grandchildren might know something, but she's only eighteen. That's too much responsibility. This isn't Harry Potter. Let's leave it to the adults."
