    Summary

    When at last the work was done, she wound it with a key of silver for hours and set it to play. As the dancing girls spun – the one with ink-dark eyes that burned with power, the one with silver slippers and tresses of gold, the one with stars embroidered on the veil that covered her white hair – she wept freely. Then Nerdanel took the key from her neck, and wound it again. Her fingers trembled, in hope and terror. As she reached the end, she met resistance, and, thumb pushing up and index finger pulling down, she twisted once more, a half turn.

    And the world around her broke apart.

    --

    Nerdanel sacrifices what she must to see her family happy.

    Summary

    All of Desmond's problems could be put into three categories: those caused by his dad, those caused by aliens and those caused by solar flares. You'd think waking up in 1969 would let him get away from one of those categories.
