Warsinger - Chapter Twenty-One

  

I followed Masha out to a trestle table, where she had her trunk open and was deftly arranging her potion-making tools: glassware, a crucible - a thick metal dish on a burner - a...

The time difference between Taltos and Myszno was about four hours, so we arrived at midday after teleporting. That was just great, because I’d taken my helmet off and ha...

We were ready to leave just after dawn, while the sun was simmering on the horizon and Archemi’s enormous moon, Erruku, was a translucent golden ghost against the pale blue and...

Warsinger - Chapter Fifteen

Suri started on the papers we'd looted from Al-Asad until we were in the carriage back to Vulkan Keep. While she read through them, I checked the status of Myszno and worried. Six days had passed, ...

"Fucking hell, this is ridiculous." Suri fumed as we lurked in a corner of the ballroom, trying - and failing - to avoid drawing attention. "I've got all those papers we pulled o...

I was still brooding on Ignas’ words when I joined the others in the dark red gallery of the Senate Chamber. Everyone who had been in ballroom had filed into here, taking...

We hung in a motionless, bone-chilling black void. I couldn't feel the other players, the saddle, or sense Karalti's mind. Fear began to gnaw at my guts as the nothingness dragged on and on... but ...

A rush of primal fear lanced through my gut. Every Californian knew that sensation of the earth about to rise up under your feet, split apart, or liquefy. The rumbling built, and...

Warsinger - Chapter 8

The tunnel down to Al-Asad was wide enough for a wagon to pass through, and tall enough that I could stand on Cutthroat's back. I crouched on her hindquarters with the Spear held low, knees loose, ...
