A horrified look crossed his phantom face. His mouth stretched, and a scream skated from his throat, high-pitched and painful to her ears. Then he slammed back together, his hands digging into his cheeks.

Her chest ached with its unbearable beauty, and at the same time something pure and longed for penetrated her being, flowing through her with pain and pleasure. She gasped at the strength of this newfound power and closed her eyes, but when she tried to open them again, another force kept them shut. Even with them closed, she could sense the terrible brightness of the moon’s silver radiance.

What had Selene told her? She tried to recall, but the last hazy fragments broke apart and, like a dream, floated into unconsciousness.”
― Lynne Ewing, The Talisman
