a short excerpt from GHOST IN THE THRONE

Spent most of the day editing GHOST IN THE THRONE. Let’s have an excerpt!

Caina headed towards the edge of the caravanserai, Kylon walking at her side in silence.

 “You should probably let me do the talking,” said Caina.

“That was the plan,” said Kylon. “You’re better at it. The Istarish language has too many consonants. What are we doing, anyway?”

“Rolling the dice,” said Caina, digging in a pouch at her sword belt.

“If we’re going to take a risk,” said Kylon, “then maybe…”

Caina blinked, and then held up the wooden dice she had taken from the pouch. “I meant that literally.”
