The Child Of Shadows

Kaz Brekker 2000

Free verse
O the child of shadows how far you have come, from the shores forgotten to the frozen ones.

O child of shadows what you have done,
you sit on the throne of the dead and the ones you have burned.

O child of shadows look how your master has forsaken you, he left you to die and the shadows that he ruled.

You must pay the price for you have sinned, you'll know the cost of those lies when the gods rise from their graves to drag you to the hell they reside.
