The Hag's Contract (John Betancourt) читать бесплатно онлайн полную версию книги (ч. 10)

Eh, lad? Orin Hawk? Aye, I heard of that one—one of the Hag’s minions.

As any fool knows, the Hag uses her powers to entrap anybody who ventures into her domain. Orin Hawk should have known it—he was a nobleman from Drachenward, after all—but somehow he got the notion in his head to drive her from her lands. He gathered forty men and marched them straight into the heart of her domain.

That was the last time Drachenward heard from Hawk. Aye, ye’ve guessed right. The Hag charmed them all and holds ’em in her power to this day.

Like my pappy always said, best steer clear of magic … mark that lesson well, lad.
