First sentence: IN THE COASTAL, tropical forests east of Thinhla, lost amid creeper-cursed and vine-entwined ruins of an ancient city-where orchids took root in crumbling courtyards and shifty-eyed chameleons swayed atop the slumping piles of primal ziggurats-there lay the toppled temple of Ahorra Izz, the scorpion-god, whose stone steps went down to caverns of forbidden treasure beyond all dreams of human avarice.
