Which was good,  \nbecause his tension had caused him to crush the thick paper in his hand, leaving it crumpled in the extreme. Smoothing it out to read it now would be a futile exercise.  \nAs far as he knew, this was the only remaining copy of the illuminated manuscript Baelocraeft Dennum in existence, even though every monastery in the thirteenth century had made one up at one time or another…  \nMagic Beasts. The whole thing was full of beautiful, illuminated letters and stunning illustrated cryptids of the stylized medieval kind. Dragons and manticores and basilisks. It would be the centerpiece of his collection, which was, admittedly, vast.  \n“Thank you, ladies and gentlemen. Our next lot is the exquisite medieval volume, Balocraeft Dennum.” The auctioneer indicated the glass box where the book sat on a tilted platform, the leather binding intact and gleaming in the carefully directed light. “In exceptional condition, with amusing notes from the illuminator in the margins. Such a wonderful example of this period of monastic works, while still unusual in that it is a relatively secular text. The book is complete, with an intact binding. Bidding to start at seventy-five hundred dollars. That’s seven thousand, five hundred dollars. Do I have $7500?”  \nThe catalog dropped to the floor, and Brand gripped his bidding number with his other hand. He would wait a bit and see how it went. The last medieval he’d bought had gone for a paltry three thousand, and that had  \nbeen for a bound book like this, not just loose pages. This kind of book was out of fashion, so maybe he could buy low.  \nA single number went up across the room, and he gritted his teeth, then told himself to breathe. It was no crime to bid at an auction, even if it was against him.  \nNo one else nibbled right away, so the auctioneer started his spiel. “I have a bid at $7500.00. Do I have seventy-seven five?”  \nThe man was on his second “going” when Brand raised his paddle.  \n“Seventy-seven five,” the auctioneer said, clearly relieved.“Do I hear eight?”  \nOne thing became quickly apparent. While no one else in the room gave one thin fuck about the book they were bidding on, the guy he was bidding against wanted the manuscript pretty damn badly.  \n“Eight thousand six hundred. Do I hear seven hundred?”  \nBrand lifted his paddle, mouthing,‘Nine thousand’.  \n“Nine thousand to the left. Do I have nine one?”  \nThe other number went up. Damn it.  \n“Nine five,” he said silently padd","cbCaidyxQF0GEhUU","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaidyxQF0GEhUU","pdf",1103584,184,"English","# Chapter 1\n# Chapter 2\n# Chapter 3\n# Chapter 4\n# Chapter 5\n# Chapter 6\n# Chapter 7\n# Chapter 8\n# Chapter 9\n# Chapter 10\n# Chapter 11\n# Chapter 12\n# Chapter 13\n# Chapter 14\n# Chapter 15\n# Chapter 16\n# Chapter 17\n# Chapter 18\n# Chapter 19\n# Chapter 20\n# Epilogue\n# Afterword\n# About the Author\n# Also by Minerva Howe","[{\"question\":\"What rare book is Brand Drake trying to buy at the auction?\",\"answer\":\"Brand Drake wants the illuminated manuscript Baelocraeft Dennum, described as unique and richly illustrated with medieval-style magical creatures.\"},{\"question\":\"Why does Brand feel especially tense during the bidding?\",\"answer\":\"His tension makes it hard for him to focus calmly, and the counterbidder’s strong determination forces Brand to keep raising his paddle.\"},{\"question\":\"What happens after the manuscript is sold to Brand?\",\"answer\":\"Brand goes to arrange payment, where his counterbidder approaches him and explains he represents another collector interested in the volume.\"}]","Dragon Scholar - Dragon Hoard Book 1 - Minerva Howe | PDF",283]
