Back Under The Stairs - Book 2 In The Bandworld Series - Plot & Excerpts
He had said there would be a war and there was no war. He trained many men for war ... but there was no war. Was this because he had bewitched the island men with magic? She had seen him order men to stuff seaman's tunics with cloth, putting cloth heads on top the cloth bodies until, sitting in boats, the Mage had made the cloth men come to life so that they rowed the boats with living men! Platinia shuddered at the thought of such unnatural power. Shuddered as she made herself small in the great, carved, gold leaf chair. She was with the Mage in the wood and marble war room, the Mage again in the boy-king's palace on Xanthin Island. Truly, she feared the Mage more than she feared the jagged lights of power that, day and night, fell upon the city. (Lightning bolts was the Mage's name for this fearsome force.) Streaks of crashing Sorcery that the evil Mage sent to blast down houses. When first the terror came, even though Platinia was in the far away palace, she could hear the people of the city screaming.
