Hemlock And The Dread Sorceress (Book 3) - Plot & Excerpts
But the inspiring design of these noble towers was overshadowed by the terrifying disarray that remained in the aftermath of their destruction. Bright paint that Hemlock remembered gleaming in the waning sunlight of a summer evening was dull and charred from fire. The beautiful wood that hadn't been consumed by flames was bent and gave the towers a contorted appearance. Sunlight shone through gaps in the structures left by collapsed roofs and buckled walls. The once beautiful city of Ogrun, which Hemlock had always dreamed of visiting when she was a girl, was now ruined. It had not been completely destroyed, but what remained just made mockery of what it once had been. No activity was evident in the ruined towers, but a few people were visibly moving amongst the lower buildings that surrounded the towers. These buildings were also wooden, and some of them were nearly as intricately fashioned as the larger towers. Many of the nearby buildings were homes, but others appeared to be commercial with goods piled outside of them and people swiftly picking amongst the items. Some furtively paid the merchants who loitered uncomfortably with their goods, before darting off. All eyes seemed to be on the skies.
