Light pouring out between her hands, like she was made of it. And I’d let go of Isis, so I couldn’t see the Devourer or Angel, or anything. I think I was knocked out for a few seconds. I landed with a thump, somewhere down in the wheat. When all the light blasted out of the ghost-eater, I got thrown clean off. It was like an electric shock or something. She was only a leaf rustling in the forest, only the speck of a bird circling into a wide and empty sky. ![]() “Isis!” Gray was calling her name from somewhere,but she didn’t answer.
