The Ships Of Air (The Fall Of Ile-Rein) - Plot & Excerpts
They were crouched in the rock below the lower-level approach to the Gardier’s camp. Florian was keeping one eye on the slim form of Birouq, the young soldier who had taken the place of the Gardier sentry, and the other on the dark outline of the airship’s mooring tower. After Kias and Arites had killed the Gardier and dragged him away, Birouq had stepped into the man’s place, so any observer above wouldn’t notice the missing sentry. It was too dark to see much, but Kias was at her side, and Arites had moved off to cover the other half of the approach from the city below them. She had bit her tongue in anxiety when the searchlight had started to sweep the compound and swore in relief when the sphere burned it out a moment later. I just wish they’d let me use the sphere, she thought, shifting uncomfortably as she knelt in the gravel. It likes me; they didn’t need to risk Gerard on this. He was the most powerful sorcerer they had left; he might be the most powerful sorcerer all of Ile-Rien had left, if the Gardier had destroyed the people trapped behind the barrier in Lodun.
