eBook Description: Kon is a runemaster, but this cave's passages are marked with runes so much older than those he knows that they might be the very runes Odin gave when he came down from the Tree. Bera is an apprentice seidhkona, already wondering why she allowed herself to accept Kon's challenge. Actually, she knows: their mutual boasting got out of hand. Now they'll have to join their skills and their magic with that of the cave itself if they want to see the sky again.

"So--you don't think much of me or my magic?" Standing, he was not much taller than she. Outland blood there, thought Bera, like her own. He had the same air of being willing to take on all comers whatever the odds that she had noticed often in small dogs, or short men. She supposed it was a compliment that he should think her a worthy adversary.
"Did I say that?" she asked sweetly. It is only that in my experience, the masters of galdor are scornful of any sorcery but their own."
"I am not scornful--" he shrugged. "But seidh is woman's magic, and I never met the woman yet who could say from one day to the next just how she spices her stews. You have power, I admit it, but its application depends on your mood, your energy." He shrugged once more. "You have no control."
"Why didn't you add, 'the phase of the moon'?" she asked dangerously. "You know nothing! Cannot you understand that to deal with such powers as we face daily requires a discipline as great as any warrior's? I have been with Groa for two years, and I am only beginning to master the skills of a seidhkona. And you, I suppose, do nothing but study rules and formulas. How do you raise the might to empower your spells?"
