Dragon Venom (Obsidian Chronicles Book 3) - Plot & Excerpts
The summer sun shone brightly on a black iron framework supporting a stone wall that had been built across the narrow canyon from side to side, to a height of twelve or fifteen feet. At the center two twenty-foot towers flanked two massive iron panels, each some ten feet wide and ten feet high. Arlian was not pleased. He had encountered no trace of magic, not so much as a bad dream, since his third day in the wastes; surety, there could be no need of defenses this far north! Nor could the gate be intended to defend against anything other than magic; what other threat could emerge from the lifeless desert? Wasting time and money and manpower to build this thing was foolish; the energy would have been better used in building catapults and carving obsidian spearheads—or in growing crops and raising children, since the Duke's truce with the dragons was presumably in effect. The wagon rolled to a stop a few feet from the iron barrier, and Arlian tilted back his hat for a better view of the wall.
