The Charnel Prince
Book Two of тАЬKingdoms of Thorn and BoneтАЭ
By Greg Keyes

PROLOGUE
Had laybyd hw loygwn eyl

Nhag Heybeywr, ayg nhoygwr niwoyd.

The Forest speaks with many tongues Listen well but never answer.

тАФNhuwd nhy Whad proverb, given as a warning to young children

I HEAR A noise,тАЬ Martyn murmured, reining in his dappled gray stallion. тАЭIt is an unnatural sound.тАЬ The
monkтАЩs predatory blue eyes strained, as if trying to burn through the huge-girthed ironoaks and rocky slopes
of the KingтАЩs Forest. Ehawk could see by the set of the manтАЩs shoulders beneath his bloodred robe that
every muscle in his body was tensed.

тАЬNo doubt,тАЭ Sir Oneu replied jovially. тАЬThis forest chatters like a woman who is half-mad with love.тАЭ

But despite his tone, Sir OneuтАЩs black eyes were serious when he turned to speak to Ehawk. As always,
Ehawk was surprised by the older manтАЩs faceтАФsoft and tapered it was, the corners of his eyes crin-

kled by fifty years of laughter. The knight hardly seemed to fit his reputation as a fierce warrior.

тАЬWhat do you say, mтАШ lad?тАЭ Oneu asked.
