Ishbel closed her eyes. Ravenna had her by the throat and was strangling her, but Ishbel did nothing to throw off the woman. She focussed her entire being on holding her concentration, on her desperately fragile hold over the links which led back to her body, and on ignoring Ravenna as best she could.

That was difficult, given that Ravenna was sinking her fingers deeper and deeper into her throat.

Ishbel? Ishbel jerked, her eyes opening.

Ishbel? Hold on just a moment, hang on to my voice. Help is coming.

It was the Weeper, or the soul which inhabited it, and Ishbel clung to the sound of his voice with all her strength. He kept talking, murmuring her name over and over, his voice forming a pathway of light deeper and deeper into the sorceries that bound him.

Ravenna tightened her grip, strengthening her efforts to either kill Ishbel or force the woman to lose her concentration and her hold on her physical body.

Then, unbelievably, Ravenna let go, staring over Ishbel’s shoulder in amazement.

Venetia was there, fighting with everything she had to maintain her own concentration.

“Stop,” she said to her daughter. “Are you mad, to so dishonor the marshlands and your mother?”

Ravenna was, for the moment, so shocked by her mother’s appearance that she did nothing.

“Run,” Venetia said to Ishbel. “Run now, and leave me with my daughter.”
