Jalia At Bay (Book 4)
“The sides of the hill had been steepened centuries before, though if you had been living there a thousand years ago, you would have seen the stone walls of terraced gardens.
At the top of the steep circular earthen slope is a fortified wooden enclosure. Oak tree trunks less about a foot in diameter and fifteen feet tall were lined one against the other and fastened together with crossbeams and heavy iron bolts. On the inside of that wooden barrier, a walkway was constructed at shoulder height f...rom its top, so guards could patrol along its length while protected by the wall should they come under attack.
A solitary elevated road led to the entrance. That road had been constructed over a thousand years ago using methods long since lost and had vertical stone sides that looked glossy black in sunlight. Anybody walking that road would be clearly visible for at least half a mile before they reached the gates. They would only have one direction to run if chased, straight back the way they had come.MoreLess
