Frank was moving quietly through those spiky shadows when Karl Skagg spoke behind him: "You looking for me?"

He gestured toward the Hayholt, a cluster of spiky shadows almost hidden by whirling snow.

At that distance, the bobble was just a glint of sunlight with a spiky shadow.

Her nose was small and elfin, her lashes thick, sooty, and so long they cast spiky shadows on her cheeks.

A tapering black stain that resembled an extension of the spiky shadow of the foot-high carving had trickled across the white plinth.
