I thrust myself between them and put my hand on the skean quickly.

I got up and kicked the fallen skean toward him.

I tore it away and struck hard with the skean.

Suddenly, so swiftly my eyes could hardly follow, he whipped out his skean and came at me.

I moved backward, hand on my skean, braced for a sudden rush.

The hilt of his skean was carved from a single green gem.

I threw my skean away before I came here.

I slipped the safety clasp from the hilt of my skean and went after him.

His hand, flashing to his boot, whipped out a narrow skean.

And I do not think you will find another to take my place, Madoc Skean.

Now she needed to see what she could get away with under the eye of Madoc Skean.

They were approaching magic as a science, and their attitude would have turned even Madoc Skean off.

By now, Madoc Skean must have figured out they'd slipped through his fingers.

Madoc Skean wasn't the only Unseleighe lord who wants me dead.

I whipped out my skean and slashed upward.

He did not touch his skean.

Kyral's face changed as she spoke; he drew a long breath and threw the whip down beside my skean on the floor.

Lough Skean is a freshwater lake in the northwest of Ireland.

I'd run the boy through with my skean and think the world a safer place lest the whelp grow up like his abominable father!

Brynat, gritting his teeth, drew the skean from his belt.

Put your skean in his guts, Spilkar!

The skean could not cut the silvery vines, but they had gone limp and Pandaras was able to pull them away from his master's body.

My skean rattled down from numb fingers.

Rakhal added, in a gentle, curiously moderate voice, "Do you still carry a skean, Race?"

Allying with Madoc Skean became a matter of self-defense.
