Yes--Horn rapes Seawrack, and she gives him a white/gold\nring with mysterious powers; as Covenant raped Lena, who (did she?  I don't\nreally remember) gives him a white-gold ring with mysterious powers.  If it\nwas anything else, I'd say the reference was obvious, but I so disliked the\nCovenant books that I'm really hoping that future events will convince me this\nresemblance is purely accidental.\n\n\n\"And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.\" John 8:32"
