Of Sea And Shadow (The Elder Empire: Sea Book 1) - Plot & Excerpts
There was nothing here but grass, flowers, and boulders that littered the meadow as though they’d been scattered by a giant child playing with a handful of marbles. He stood there for over fifteen minutes, waiting by the boulder and listening to the reassuring sound of the Heart’s whispers, before he noticed the battle. A black-clad shape darted from one boulder to another, holding a steel blade in its hand. He moved to investigate, then he saw a fleeing figure carrying a bronze knife. Shera. She disappeared behind a tree, and he heard nothing. Maybe the occasional scuffle, but no clang of metal on metal, no grunt as of a man suffering a stab wound. He hurried over, checking behind the tree, and saw nothing but a few broken branches on a bush. Maybe they had moved on… Stay, stay, stay and be reborn, the song crooned. So he stayed where he was. Only a moment later, a box tumbled out from between two boulders. Blood had splattered one corner of the box, and it was open slightly. The song leaked from within.
