An alarm pricked her to half-consciousness. It sounded like the school bell, but from a strangely muffled distance. The thought that she had fallen asleep in class skittered across Honor’s brain. But then a roaring took over: the memory-echo of a great smashing whirl, of earth upheaving, and the present cyclone of raging wind outside. Of wind inside.
