The Sorcerer's Abyss (The Sorcerer's Path) - Plot & Excerpts
Gaining entry had proven to be rather simple once he shed the body of his last host and traveled once more as a shade. His ethereal body was an advantage when it came to the ease with which he could move about and hide in the shadows, but it also put him lowest on the food chain. He would need to get another host soon. His shade form allowed him to blend into and become one with any of the numerous shadows cast by the flames continually burning in the small stone basins sporadically attached to the walls. It was by sticking to and blending into those shadows that the Rook was able to traverse the labyrinthine corridors undetected. Ahead, he spotted the movement of a pair of demons and ducked down a narrower and darker side passage. The Rook thought himself safe until a form stepped out of the deepest shadows. “You must be lost, shade,” the impossibly black creature said as it climbed down the wall toward the assassin. “Why aren’t you down in the warrens feeding your essence into the fortress like a good little shade?” The demon was humanoid, but its limbs were unusually long and slender.
