North Star Guide Me Home
“Somewhere very near, a child was singing a nursery song about a bear and a beehive.
He had no memory of how he’d come to be here, but the cloying heaviness in his head and the foul taste in his throat told him he’d been drugged. He was lying in a cell, one wall sealed off with iron bars.
The room was very dark, and he lay on a bed of straw with a filthy blanket thrown over him. Cam levered himself up, and realised then that he’d been chained to the wall by each wrist.
For some time he simply la...y there in the prickling straw, trying to recall how he’d come to be here.
The attack in the palace he remembered all too well. The sight of the dagger poised above his eye was clear as crystal in his memory. He’d done his best to brace himself for the pain, for the sudden darkness that would come, willing Sierra not to give in and surrender. Nothing good ever came of giving in, they both knew that. If he could have spoken he’d have urged her to fight, to give them no quarter, show them the folly of attacking a Child of the Black Sun.MoreLess
