The Night Voice (2015)
“She had only Ghassan and Brot’an for company. Wynn and Leesil had remained in camp with the orbs.
“We should turn back,” Ghassan said, glancing toward the eastern, lightening sky.
“A little farther,” Magiere countered, pressing on in the lead.
She felt torn at going back after having found nothing again. Finding anything to support Ghassan’s belief in the Enemy’s reawakening seemed slimmer and slimmer by the day.
She’d lost count of the nights since they’d found the bodies, or p...arts of the bodies, and there was no way of truly knowing what had happened to those people. The nights now repeated the same choice: who scouted and who stayed behind. Any who went out had to cover as much new ground as possible before returning at dawn . . . to collapse in exhaustion.

Along the way, more time was lost in finding wells and stealing water for both themselves and the camels.MoreLess
