Yesterday's Kings (2001)
“The meadow was scattered with trees, spreading down the walls of the ridge to a small lake that was held like a blue jewel in the green cup of the encircling land. Lyandra paused there, staring down as if at some remembered treasure.
Cullyn could understand why.
He had traversed a wondrous land—such a place as defied imagination, all filled with impossibilities, as if every dreamed-of landscape or creature that might be encompassed by imagination existed. And now he looked upon a lake that was ...a perfect circle of pristine blue, reflecting back the late afternoon sun and the billows of white cloud that scudded overhead. It was an exact circle, and at its center, like a jewel in the blue ring, there rose an islet as impossible as anything else in this strange land.
Sheer cliffs of black granite rose from the lake’s calm waters, shining like jewels exposed to the sun. They clambered from the mere to meet such walls as no natural force could have constructed. High they were, ringing the islet, and beyond them lay a profusion of fantastical towers, some squat and blunt, others like great needles rising to meet the sky.MoreLess
