The Book Of The Sword (Darkest Age) - Plot & Excerpts
One by one, they hovered over the peak, their breath foaming around them; then their wings folded back and they plummeted into the mountain. As each one crashed, a glittering cloud of shards shot up, hiding them from view – and when it cleared, there was only the glacier. – But Loki is still unbound, the Fay said. And, as if in reply, the mountain groaned, and a livid light shone from every crack and cave, as if its whole stony heart were aflame. The sun had risen to nearly overhead, and for the first time since setting out on the journey Edmund found he was sweating inside his heavy fur cloak. Fritha had led them to a track that climbed upwards in a wide curve, with a stony ridge running alongside it to their left; Fritha often ran a hand along it as they walked, as if for reassurance. The snow fields were far below them now: when Edmund looked down he saw only a jagged confusion of ice and grey rock, rising to the next peak in the range.
