Dreamspinner (2012)
“She had rarely suffered from any illness until she’d gone inside Gobhann. She supposed she could safely say she had woken before from all sorts of sleeps, from uneasy snoozes to hopeless, helpless descents into oblivion to escape the dullness and monotony of her life at the Guild, but she had never before woken from the sleep of death.
It occurred to her that she was not dead, she was very much alive. She ached from head to toe and her head felt as if someone had tried to pull her brain out of her eye sockets. Her eyes burned as if she’d been weeping for days, though she knew she hadn’t. But other than those rather minor things, she felt remarkably good. She lay there for quite a while, thinking about life and death and the fact that she was partaking of the former instead of the latter. The more she thought about it, the warmer she felt.
But perhaps the fury of knowing that one had been lied to did that for a person.
Never touch a wheel, she had been told countless times at the Guild.
