Fireshaper's Doom (2014)
“The sun had not yet risen, and fog hung among the trees like ghostly tapestries. The empty plains were silent, the forest tracks yet sleeping. The wind was still. Even the great dome-shelled Watchers relaxed their vigilance, their tiny brains awash with dreams of darkness.
In all Lugh’s realm, in fact, three minds alone were fully conscious, and only one of them was sapient.
Locked in a stall of pure white marble in the sprawl of the High King’s palace, Fionna had not slept for the three days t...hat had passed in Tir-Nan-Og (nor the nine that had lapsed in the Lands of Men) since Morwyn had trapped her in horse shape.
The first day she had been too angry either to think or to take any action. The second she had spent in consideration of her circumstances. On the third day she was ready.
Taken by themselves, the fourfold shaping spells she had drawn upon herself would have been no problem to escape. She had touched them before and knew their form and structure.
But Morwyn’s binding had complicated her plans considerably, for it had insinuated itself through the layered sorceries and locked them tight around her.MoreLess
