Let’s try a new game today! (I’m calling this game “Guess what we’re reading” but if you can think of something slightly more inspired, please suggest it.)
Grab the book you’re currently reading, open to the spot where you left off (or turn on your audio player if it’s an audiobook) and, as a comment below, give us the next 50 words. Other readers will try to guess your book while you try to guess theirs.
Here are the rules:

Magic: An Anthology of the Esoteric and Arcane edited by Jonathan Oliver
Magic is, almost by definition, esoteric and arcane; something known only to a few, kept secret from the masses, practiced only by initiates. Still, the grandiose title of this themed anthology of original stories may oversell it slightly, since many of the tales here are quite conventional. Jonathan Oliver gathered a shining collection of talent, though, and with fifteen stories spanning fantasy, dark fantasy, urban fantasy and horror, most readers will find something to enjoy.
The book has a lovely cover by Nicolas Delort.
