Chapter 13: Under the Stone
The granite was cold under my palm, and it stayed cold.
Josiah's smile widened across the torchlight.
"Take your time, Healer," he said. "The Stone is patient."
He wanted me standing there with my hand on dead rock while the pack began to pity me.
I had spent seven days in a cellar deciding how to begin.
"My name is Dilys Nancarrow," I said. "My mother was Maren, who kept your still room."
Under my palm, the cold shivered.
"I was fourteen, and I saw it."
The granite warmed.
"I saw who shut that door, and it was not Torquil Dacre."
A thread of gold ran out from under my fingers and into the grain of the stone.
"The man who did it is standing in front of you, and he is smiling."
The whole Stone lit.
It lit from the ground to the top, twelve feet of granite glowing the color of honey, and the light fell across six hundred faces.
