The prison was built in the shape of a great square, with a tower at each corner and battlements on top that ran the length of each wall. Within the square was another, smaller tower, built of black, shiny stone. So carefully had the tower been built that the cracks between the huge blocks of stone were no thicker than a hairsbreadth. Soldiers stood sentinel outside the one entrance, a massively thick iron door at the base of the tower, while more soldiers patrolled the courtyard.

Finn leant over the crenellations for a long time, scrutinising the central tower carefully. It was here that Elfrida had lived most of her life, and here that all the most important prisoners were incarcerated. No-one had ever escaped the Black Tower before, it was said, let alone tried to break in. Finn knew it would be death for her if she was caught.
