Saxon: The Book Of Dreams (Saxon 1) - Plot & Excerpts
The vessel pitched and rolled, and every time a wave crashed on deck above me the water dripped down through the deck planks. In the whirling darkness I dry-retched until I wished I would die. The wali had warned that the voyage would be uncomfortable but he had understated the case. ‘The mountain Vascons are tough,’ he’d said, ‘but for sheer hardiness they are exceeded by the sea Vascons.
