Merlin's Shadow (2013)
“Colvarth and the others helped Merlin to stand and guided him over to a spot under a tree. There he rested while the warriors hunkered down until nightfall, when they would travel again.
Merlin’s dreams were strange, beginning with a reliving of Scafta’s attack. The witch doctor’s boot, sharp like a broken rock, came down again and again on Merlin’s head, and he was kicked until he shrunk so small that he tumbled into a tiny crack that opened in the ground. He fell into smothering earth, which ...covered his face. It became impossible to breathe. He flailed for a handhold, anything, to pull himself up, but the soil came off in lumps. Darkness took him.
When he awoke, it was night and he lay in the bottom of a small boat, its wooden ribs creaking and water lapping the sides. Merlin sat up. A thick, peat-scented fog covered the world, and though he could see neither oar nor sail, the boat plied through the water on a will of its own. Hazy reeds passed by and frogs drummed their throats in the distance.MoreLess
