Daughter of Moth (The Moth Saga, book 4)
“Instead she found herself in another world.
Blackness spread all around her; she felt as if she floated in the night sky. She stood on a stone bridge that spread over the chasm. A door stood before her—not encased in a wall but simply standing on its own. When Madori leaned sideways, she could peer around it. Many more doors rose along the bridge like battlements along a castle wall.
A contraption of ropes, wooden circles, and metallic rings hung upon the door. The jumble was connected to the d...oorknob, blocking Madori from twisting it. She jangled the hodgepodge, listening to the metallic rings clink and the wooden circles knock together.
"A riddle," she said.
"An elaborate knot." So, she realized, the Trial of Wit involved opening door by door—each one posing a riddle. At a summer festival once in Kingswall, Madori had seen a trained parrot that could solve elaborate puzzles, opening doors to get a treat. It seemed that now she would have to play parrot.
She stuck out her tongue as she often did when deep in concentration.MoreLess
