Heir Of Stone (The Cloudmages #3) - Plot & Excerpts
The wind raked the slopes; the rocks of the mountains tore open the low clouds and tossed spatters of rain down on them; the horses skittered gingerly down the muddy slope until they reached a wide straight road well down from the Narrows where they could see for a long distance. Massive rocks tilted in the stony soil all around them, like the gravestones of giants. One of them had fallen recently, the torn ground at the base as black as old blood. Seeing it, Kayne stopped. Glancing behind and up, Kayne could see the ragged jaws of the pass where the laird and the Fingerlanders waited. They could hear the clamor of the approaching vanguard. At Kayne’s gesture, Harik unfurled the white banner; the advance riders of the Airgiallaian force saw them—they could hear the shouts of orders faint in the distance, and one of the riders below was given a hastily-made flag of parley. He rode quickly ahead to stop just out of easy arrow range—though, Kayne noted carefully, not out of range for the bows that Séarlait and the Fingerlanders used—and hailed them.
