Book Two Of The Travelers (2009) - Plot & Excerpts
At the far end of the great chamber, a thin, black-clad man stood next to a large wooden throne. The soldiers hauled Aja across the cold marble floor and slammed her to the ground in front of the man. “Kneel before King Hruth!” shouted one of the guards. “Avert your eyes, rebel!” shouted the second guard. As she tried to get her balance, two more guards dragged her friend Nak Adyms into the room. She and Nak had been traveling together in a trading caravan to visit the capital of Qoom. But when they had reached the gates of the castle, a group of soldiers had taken them captive. Aja looked up at the man by the throne. “Avert your eyes!” the guard shouted again. The man—King Hruth, apparently—waved his hand languidly. “It doesn’t matter,” he said. “You may look upon me if you wish.” King Hruth was a thin man with long black hair and very pale blue eyes. He was dressed entirely in black, with no sign of rank other than a small crest embroidered on his collar. It was the crest of the kingdom of Qoom.
