Marie's Journey (Ginecean Chronicles)
“Or maybe she was made to come to in order to be flogged. It didn’t matter as long as things went the way she had hastily sketched in her head. Callista was furiously pacing on the roof, and the whole of Vasura but the men had been summoned for the spectacle. This time, the major wouldn’t show mercy. Marie was counting on that. She hoped carving lashes on her back wouldn’t be enough to satiate the woman’s anger. She was hoping that dying under the whip wasn’t punishment enough in Callista’s eyes...—that only a slow and painful death would do. And so she bore the whip way beyond the pain of the first five lashes.
