Broken Crossroads (Knights Of The Shadows Book 1) - Plot & Excerpts
No invading army has ever put its people to the sword; no fire or flood has scoured it from the earth; no plague has decimated its denizens. But it has been conquered. The attention of the kingdom has been drawn elsewhere, as have its best thinkers, soldiers and artisans. That most terrible of adversaries, Time, has gnawed at the foundations of the once mighty metropolis, as the roads to and from the city become rutted and overgrown, the harbor shallow with silt from the river. Like a beautiful courtesan shriveled with age or a mighty warrior whose arthritic hands can no longer wield his sword, the city wallows in corruption, trading on its fading power and reputation while remembering the days of its glory, filled with monuments and architecture that crumbles ever more each year, which it no longer has the skill or vision to replace. Alone among the ancient edifices, the Sollych, the great spire at the center of the citadel, remains unchanged.
