Tara Duncan And the Spellbinders (2012)
“Like a patient before surgery, she would undergo the exorcism on an empty stomach. Resisting an urge to flee, she followed the ifrit that came to fetch her.
The hall she entered was padded and painted red, which didn’t reassure her—was that to hide any blood that might be shed? The spellbinders were sitting in a circle on comfortable cushions. There were at least a hundred high wizards present.
Lady Auxia took the floor. “Welcome, child. Come stand in the center of our circle, please.”
... Tara silently obeyed.
“Now show us what is happening to you,” Auxia said in a slightly condescending tone. “I’m having trouble visualizing the extent of your problem.”
Tara looked up with an ironic smile. So the high wizard had trouble visualizing the problem, eh? She would understand soon enough.
“Well, the demon’s welcome was as chilly as a cold shower,”MoreLess
