Shadow Games: The Fourth Chronicles Of The Black Company: First Book Of The South - Plot & Excerpts
It was an easy downhill trail with only a few places where we had trouble with the coach and Lady’s wagon. By noon we reached the first trees. An hour later the first contingent were aboard a ferry raft. Before sundown we were inside the jungle of D’loc Aloc, where only ten thousand kinds of bugs tormented our bodies. Worse on our nerves than their buzzing, though, was One-Eye’s suddenly inexhaustible store of praises and tales of his homeland. From my first day in the Company I had been trying to get a fix on him and his country. Every lousy detail had had to be pried out. Now it was everything anyone ever wanted to know, and more. Except specifics of why he and his brother had run away from such a paradise. From where I sat swatting myself the answer to that seemed self-evident. Only madmen and fools would subject themselves to such continuous torment. So which was I? For all there was a route through, we spent almost two months in that jungle.
