Not even its training could hold the beast steady in the face of such eldritch terror. The horse threw its rider and bolted. The consul fell heavily. The black owl rushed down on him with another ear-splitting scream. Its wings were black brooms, thirty feet from tip to tip, that drove the summer air in gusts. Its eyes flamed yellow.

Offutt THE IRON LORDS THE LADY OF THE SNOWMIST WHEN DEATH BIRDS FLY тАЬFor these are the birds of death: the Owl, a predator of the night, and the Raven, presider over battlefields:тАЭ The name of Lucanor Magus strikes fear into the souls of all who sail the rough seas between Galicia and Britannia, for the spells of this Mage and Sorcerer are as evil as his heartтАФand he means to rule these shores by whatever means he can. But he reckons without Cormac mac Art, he of the black hair and light eyes who has struck his own kind of fear throughout his native Eirrin and as far beyond as seafarers wander and tell tales of courage. Cormac is a warrior, more than a match for any other with sword or axe, but he is more than that. The blood of the High Kings of ancient days runs in his veins; the sorceries of such as Lucanor cannot overcome him though they come from the very bowels of Hell! ROBERT E.
