Feather Island smoldered.

The mile-wide limestone island had been eroded at its southern end creating a shelf of land, which at its extremity erupted into one of two plateaued towers of rock. The tower that stood at the edge of the shelf was called the Near Tower; its twin, which erupted straight from the sea, was known as the Far Tower.

Nicodemus had visited Feather Island twice before. Then every flat surface had been covered with rectangular whitewashed houses. Into every vertical surface had been carved rooms adorned with boardwalks and palm-thatch awnings. There had been bright hyacinth flowers and bougainvillea vines. Between the two rock towers, rope bridges had stretched at three different levels.
