A few lines from yesterday's work:In the moonlight, the magicians dragged some kind of heavy bundles onto the stage.One of them rolled off and landed in a heap. Two of the magicians lifted it back up and for an instant, she saw dangling legs, a boneless arm swinging back and forth.The trilogy has been translated into German, Polish and French.
