Book Excerpt
The
Citadel:
Nothing, nothing at all, not the ancient tales of lore,
nor the fables of old could have prepared the cousins for the imposing power or
the exquisite beauty of the Citadel. It rose up out of the snow like an
elaborate ice sculpture, with belfries and pinnacled towers climbing into the
clouds and reaching higher than the peaks themselves.
There were arches and
turrets and cupolas, and parapets and
round keeps with lanterns flickering in
spade shaped windows, and all of it as pristine and intricate as though carved
from ice and decorated with snow.
The castle was hewn from the
mountain itself, forged from the stone so that the posterior of the castle was
fused into the rock face of the mountain. A high, thick stone wall with
ramparts and battlements like the strongholds of old, curved around the castle,
surrounding it like a giant horseshoe
with the massive gatehouse setting the center and the two prongs fusing back
into the mountain.
