By contrast, the older king, Moriethsten, was altogether sloppy. He rode like a bag of oats. His excess weight shifted with the gelding’s movement, and his pale hair, bound in gol...d filigree, bounced unbecomingly in time to the horse’s canter.

Other caches waited farther on where Wexten spanned beneath upperworld waters. But now, though the stores must be inspected, her mind was only half on the preparations for war.MoreLess
