The Conquering Dark: Crown (2015) - Plot & Excerpts
The wooden braces of Hartley Hall’s main floor were just overhead. He worked his way past the outer walls and stone columns that served as part of the great house’s foundation. The dim space smelled musty. He followed a bright light, which burned in the palm of Nick Barker’s right hand. His old friend crawled awkwardly ahead, shuffling to keep his illuminated hand raised. Both men wore rough twill work togs, and they were caked with mud and streaming with cobwebs. “There!” Simon called. “On your left.” Nick swung around, banging his head on a beam. He cursed and rubbed his close-cropped hair. The support structure inches from his face wasn’t the typical stone column; it was forged steel with thick compressed springs and odd flanges. Entwined gears and pistons offered flexible support. Nick whistled with admiration. “Christ,” he said. “Look at this thing. This is what kept the house up when Gaios came.”
