The Shattering Waves (The Year Of The Dragon, Book 7) - Plot & Excerpts
Only after dismounting and approaching on foot, did Bran realize the scale of the maze of boulders surrounding the centre of the saucer-shaped valley. A series of concentric rings spiralled out of the nexus, risen by some earth-shattering spell in imitation of the castle ramparts.

It was Nodwydd, soaring over their heads in slow, majestic circles.
