Synopsis

She wondered why her family had died without hope of rescue when the Vi-kayas could have raised their power to prevent the tragedy. She had been left alone on a plain to look upon the ashes of her loves and to hear nothing but the sigh of a cold wind. In misery and solitude she asked herself why she had not also been slain and burned by the Garaki. She was haunted by nightmares and in her waking she feared that stas of her ancestors turned towards her on their fire blackened pedestals and accused her for being alive when all else was destroyed. Everything of her past life rested in ash upon the still plains. She feared that her existence no longer had any purpose and she wept. Also by the author: The Stream of Arobo

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Alone, standing amid the wreckage of the House of Urantz, the last of Valni's strength ebbed. She trembled, a young girl wearing a parvis oil soaked sack dress, her head hanging forward, her long hair caught in a shaft of sunlight. Slowly she descended to her knees, sinking them in the ash and charcoal which covered the floor of the fire gutted hall. The fire and smoke blackened sculptures of her ancestors and her parents remained on their pedestals where the Mools had left them in dread of magic. The stone eyes stared blankly at the scarred and blackened opposite walls. Gradually the girl toppled forward and stretched out amid the charred debris, wriggling in it and covering herself with it despairingly. Her weeping was a lone, unheard anguish, lost on the empty plain, the last sound of a living Latannese between the horizons.
