The Broken World Book One - Children Of Another God - Plot & Excerpts
Broad belts of woodland dissected rolling meadows that herds of grazing beasts populated. An occasional herder's hut stood at the edge of a forest, smoke curling from its chimney, but for the most part the land was wild. Wagons and horsemen traversed the roads, so Chanter avoided them. In the middle of the third day, a sprawling city came into sight ahead, on the banks of a mighty brown river. A chequerboard of cultivated fields surrounded it, divided by low stone walls and tended by brown-clad peasant farmers. Chanter stopped, and Talsy slid from his back, pulling off the bag. A surge of Earthpower transformed him back into a man, and he gazed at the city. "I'm not going in there," he said. "We need a bridge to get to the other side," she pointed out. "And besides, I have to buy provisions. I can hunt for meat, but we need flour, salt, sugar and tea." He shook his head. "I don't need a bridge, nor do I need to be beaten and spat on, then thrown into a Pit." "But I may need your protection." Chanter eyed her.
