Here is an excerpt from The Stone Walkers [Book 4 of the Tarth Series]:
Darkness filled the bowels of the Tarth mountain, darkness and silence.
Though a group of explorers had been swinging their picks for days on the surface of the mountain, not a sound, not even an echo of the sharp crack of iron on rock had reached the deep places. The Stalli explorers didn’t know those places existed but if they had known, if they had excitedly carried torches down through the twisting corridors of caves, somehow surviving low oxygen levels and poisonous gases, they would have reached a small chamber.
Two boulders, taller than they were wide, leaned against one of the chamber’s walls. In the flickering torchlight, the explorers would have barely glanced at them. Tall boulders abounded in the Stalli Mountain range. Eagerly the young men and women would have hurried past, but after a few more steps, they would have had to stop.
That back wall was the end of the interlocking cave system. The small chamber was the deepest of the deep places.
Nothing had changed in it for years beyond years.
