Anyway, I think most (if not all) of the visitors to this website are spambots...but on the off chance that a legitimate fan of THE STEWARDS OF REED series does check this blog from time to time, I've decided to post some sneak-peaks of The Dungeons of Cetahl until the book is finally published. It goes without saying that these pages have not yet been edited...
Prologue
The man sat quietly in
the corner of his cell. His eyes had adjusted to the darkness long ago – so
much so that he felt the need to shield them from the brightness of the guard’s
torch whenever his daily ration of food was delivered. But it was his
hands that he still relied upon most of all. His hands could see and hear what his
other senses could not. His hands knew the stories of the walls, and the walls
knew the stories of those sequestered in the cell before him.
The stone walls were
cold and damp, and many parts were coated with a thin layer of moss that
somehow managed to persist without the benefit of sunlight. He traced his
fingers along the etchings in the stone. Several prisoners of old had attempted
to track their days spent in solitude within the Dungeons of Cetahl – the thief
for certain, the merchant, the blacksmith. But not the wizard. No, she did not mark her time in stone.
But it was not the
wizard who concerned him, nor any of the others for that matter. I am here for a reason, he reminded
himself. Eventually, sleep overcame him and he drifted off into the land of
dreams – the only land beyond his cell that he had seen in over two decades.
