“What a brutal thing it is,” the countess remarks, watching me with her avid gaze. “The way you must hurt to heal. Your heart must be hardened like a stone against others’ pain.”

“Back then, her hands were still unmarred by pain, her fingers fine and nimble. “Find the moon, Annacska,” she’d whisper in my ear. “Go on—tell me where it is.”

“For all the gold and silver in her coffers, in some ways the countess is just like me. A woman, with a man’s cruel hand around her wrist.”
