Читать книгу How the Gods Wove at Kyrannon - Ardath Mayhar - Страница 4

Introduction

The many peoples of Kyrannon lived their separate lives in peace. The nomadic Wildings, silver-maned and golden-eyed, wandered the hidden places. The slight, grey-furred People of the Heights kept to their rocky caves. The Initiates meditated in the Tower of Truth beyond the waters. And from the moon-trees the inquisitive Gracks observed all who passed.

But when a wounded Wilding consented to enter the house of Tisha the Wise to be healed she sensed that the quiet forest was no longer safe from those who joyed in killing. Shanah of Fallowden in the grasslands felt the shadow of exile as Those Who Wait grew uneasy in their guardianship. And there were others, all over Kyrannon, who learned that the time had come when they must unite to defend their freedom with all the strength of body, mind and spirit they could call on as the dark desires of Him Who Sits at Lirith shadowed their lives with increasing menace.
