"I am not dead," Elinor promises. "I have some bruises and will need to visit with our healer. I am alive, though."

Fergus digs his fingers into her nightgown. A long hot bath has mostly removed the oak and fish odor from her skin and hair. Her appetite is slower to return.

Maudie refuses to approach her without stuttering or keeping her distance. Elinor and the children are suddenly dangerous. She could've killed her daughter. Her children were turned into cubs. This could be a family curse.

"Don't ever frighten me like that again, love."

"I'll try my very best."
