Yangsze Choo
Chinese traditionally consider shadows part of the soul. Harm done to a shadow, whether by pinning it to the ground or stepping on it, was considered spiritual damage to the person. Of course none of this really works. But the mind can certainly affect the body.
Yangsze Choo, The Fox Wife

Erin  Forbes

Erin Forbes, Fire & Ice: The Kindred Woods
