A scene

The keepers of the Acheron Zoo had lost two beasts in one night, and they paid a hedge-witch named Takhat to find them before the Pharaoh heard. She stood on the zoo wall, eyes closed, and reached out for the Khitan snow leopard. Nothing. No leopard of that kind had ever walked the Qaddani sands, and the spell could not find it. She tried again for the striped hyaena, a beast of the desert's own, and felt it at once, a warm prickle to the southwest: skulking behind the statues in the Park of Monuments.
