A towering boulder jutted from the earth some twenty paces ahead and to his left to the right was a cluster of smaller rocks, no more than four feet high. Angry men make mistakes, he reminded himself. Tension rose in him as he pictured the smiling face and the cruel, mocking eyes. Would they have left a rearguard? It was unlikely, for there were no Drenai soldiers within fifty miles. Then looping the quiver over his shoulder, he made his way carefully back to the trail.

Swiftly he strung the bow and notched an arrow to the string. The doeskin quiver held twenty shafts that Shadak had crafted himself: the flights of goose feather, stained red and yellow, the heads of pointed iron, not barbed, and easily withdrawn from the bodies of the slain. The bow was of Vagrian horn, a hunting weapon capable of launching a two-foot-long arrow across a killing space of sixty paces. He thought for a moment, then sheathed the blades and reached for the bow and quiver strapped to the saddle pommel. Strapping it to his waist he drew the two short swords they were of the finest Vagrian steel, and double edged. He stroked the beast's long neck and lifted his swordbelt from the back of the saddle. Shadak faded back through the undergrowth to where his horse was tethered. Insects had criss-crossed the hoof-marks, but the edges of the prints were still firm. The sun was high in a cloudless summer sky, and the spoor was more than three hours old. Dressed as he was in a shirt of fringed buckskin, and brown leather leggings and boots, the tall man was virtually invisible, kneeling in the shadows of the trees. Thanks also to Stan Nicholls and Chris Baker for bringing Druss to life in a new way.īOOK ONE: Birth of a Legend Prologue Screened by the undergrowth he knelt by the trail, dark eyes scanning the boulders ahead of him and the trees beyond.
