Ratha’s Challenge (The Fourth Book Of The Named) (1994) - Plot & Excerpts
He felt his own heart pound in his chest. He hated seeing this happen to her. He hated it even more when there were others around to witness her helplessness. Luckily, this time, no one was. He had taken her to a little hollow where they could be alone, where she could practice slipping into the dreaming state of mind that was so like that of the hunters. Instead she was battling a nightmare. “Come out of it, Thistle,” Thakur yowled as her pupils shrank to black slits in the stormy green sea of her eyes. “You’ve had enough. I’ve had enough.” Twice before she had managed to pull herself out of the trance before it took her. But this time she was gone where only she could go. Thakur had chosen this place for another reason. It had a pool. A marshy little wallow of a pool that was more mud than water. She was starting to jump around, muttering nervously to herself. Thakur grabbed her by the scruff before she could dash off on a mad run, and swung her with a splash into the pool.
