Ghost In The Throne (Ghost Exile #7) - Plot & Excerpts
During Caina’s past journeys, the road had been filled with merchant traffic as trade flowed back and forth between Istarinmul and Anshan. Now the caravans had slowed to a trickle, all of them surrounded by scowling, hard-eyed mercenaries. Bands of soldiers moved north and south along the road, some heading to Istarinmul to bolster the Grand Wazir’s army, others moving south to reinforce Tanzir Shahan. Bands of Istarish nomads circled the edges of the road, seeking for travelers to rob, and parties of Collectors searched for inventory to sell in Istarinmul. The Collectors were the most aggressive. A band of a dozen rode up and attacked without any warning. Kylon killed three of them and Morgant two in the first moments of the fighting. That convinced the surviving Collectors to flee in search of easier prey. “I suggest that we would do well to avoid the road,” said Nasser. Caina watched as Kylon cleaned the blood from the blade of the valikon, crimson against silver. Morgant busied himself by searching the bodies and helping himself to any coins.
