Heart of the Dragon's Realm (2012)
“The plain wooden bridge had arched high over the river for as long as anyone’s memory stretched back, weathering several floods and the feet of countless supplicants. It served well as neutral ground, given how much reverence people held for the creature said to dwell in the waters underneath.
Soldiers gathered in ranks on both banks while river-birds wheeled and called out from above. Was there an eagle among them? She squinted upward hopefully, but quickly brought her gaze back down when ...the king of Kenasgate motioned for her and Dereth to accompany him to the bridge.

As they drew closer, she scanned through the faces on the other side, searching for any that were familiar.MoreLess
