Chapter 28: The Shelf Goes

By nine the whole pack stood on the shore, and Delphine's plate of ice had drifted to the edge of the great shelf.

It lodged there, forty yards out, scraping and tilting in the meltwater.

She crouched on it in her grey dress with her arms wrapped around her knees.

She did not scream anymore.

The hunters had brought Ilse down from the hall with her wrists tied in front of her.

She walked between two guards with her head high, and her bare collar looked very white.

The bench sat on a row of stumps at the waterline.

The old woman in the center, five grey elders around her, and a seventh stump at the end that held me.

Lucan stood behind it with his bandaged hand.

He had refused a seat.

"Ilse Harrow," the old woman said. "You are charged with the death of the Luna's child."

"With the thermos. With the knife in the Warden's side."

"With the rifles you brought to the Winter seat."

"I deny the knife."

"You brought the woman who held it."

"I brought my sister's daughter. I would do it again."
