Michelle West - Sun Sword 04 - Sea Of Sorrows - Plot & Excerpts
Isladar grimaced. "I had hoped that this would be less… obvious." She could see that the shadows were lessening, lessening. But she had thought they were her shadows. Now she understood what she saw. What she wanted to see. What she had dreaded seeing. She cried out, the sound so raw it contained too many emotions to be simple: anger, grief, triumph, denial. She pulled the sword free— Or tried— And it would not budge. Anduvin came. She could see his hands on Isladar's shoulders, could see his perfect skin cast in the alabaster that the Kialli almost never know: fear. "It won't—it won't come free!" "You fool," Anduvin said, and his voice was wild. But he did not speak to her. "Do you know what you've done?" "I… have suspicions." "Why?" "Because, Brother, I have plans. Obligations." "You have—" "I made my oath," he said. "You did not bind yourself to it." "Spoken like the kin." The shadows were diminishing. She thought if they spoke a few moments longer the shadows would be, in their entirety, gone.
