Book Cover & Preview Text
Through the cool night air the commandos flew without interruption until dawn. The dwarves were taciturn, as was their usual manner; only occasional oaths erupted when the birds hit air pockets that sent them plummeting downward several meters. Angry muttering could be heard above the wind as the stocky dwarves scowled about ‘sturdy ponies between their legs instead of these monstrous birds! If people were supposed to fly, they would have been born with wings.’ The riders, hearing the disgruntled dwarves, quietly chuckled to themselves. They too had once been nervous of flight on these giant birds. Now theirs was the responsibility to deliver these heroes safely to the very mouth of the Caves of Desolation. The very name caused them too shudder in fear! The very heart of evil lay ahead of them, just beyond these silent mountains.
No one was inclined to talk or jest in conversation. This time around, each was alone with his or her own thoughts, alternating between desires to catch a bit of sleep, or being too nervous for sleep as the dread thought of the Plains of Desolation loomed large in their thinking. Everyone knew the kind of danger into which they were headed. Only the thought of losing the very world they knew and loved strengthened their resolve.
Here the real battle to save the world would be fought. The stakes were high; it was winner take all! But who would be the winner? Could their small force, maybe hopelessly outnumbered, tip the scales in favor of the races?
