The Aware (The Isles Of Glory Book 1) - Plot & Excerpts
I’d be lying if I said I hadn’t been hoping she would return quickly and get me out of there. The whole idea of spending a night in those waters was enough to raise the hairs on the back of my neck. In the dark, one couldn’t see the blood-demons… The only trouble was that she didn’t come back to free me; she came back a prisoner. I never did discover exactly how or where they had captured her, but I suspect that a guard sent out to relieve the one she had killed may have seen and caught her. She had no experience with my kind of life: the sneaking around, the thinking ahead, taking care to look after one’s own skin before all else… When I saw her, she was standing on the top of the hole between two dunmagickers—genuine ones. One of them called out to me, grinning. ‘Thought you were going to be rescued, did you? Too bad, halfbreed!’ And then, with breathtaking callousness, he pushed her over the edge. With some desperate idea of catching her I leapt up and lunged forward, but I was too late.
