Glandyth began to advance with the heated iron. It smoked in the cold night air. Now Corum tried to forget the threat of torture and concentrate on his second sight, trying to see into the next plane. He sweated with a mixture of terror and the effort of his thought.

Corum twisted in the chains, trying to avert his head. Then Glandyth's left hand shot and tangled itself in his hair, forcing the head back, bringing the iron down.
