Golden Tide (Song Of The Aura, Book Four) - Plot & Excerpts
When the roaring, bloody suffering finally dissipated enough for him to think, he quickly realized that he could not move a muscle. Well, not exactly. His head could move, he found, but his arms and legs were held fast in something he could not make out in the darkness, stretched so far as to make any back-bending or similar movement impossible. After the light of day, the meager torchlight took a long time to get used to. When his eyes finally adjusted, Lauro saw that his arms up to the elbows, and his legs up to the knees were held by rock. He was in a solid, windowless, doorless cell of rock, only big enough to hold him and his curious bonds. It was as if the rock had been a living thing, sealing off any avenue of escape, and stretching down from the ceiling and up from the floor to encase his limbs. Suddenly, the solution hit him. Stone Striders. That… that girl had brought him back to the M’tant Stone Striders, where they had Stridden rock to imprison him. His limbs were pinioned, which eliminated almost all of his Sky Striding techniques, and the absence of doors or windows (however that had been accomplished!) meant that even if he did escape, there was nowhere to go.
