Dark Warrior Rising (2011)
“—from an anonymous Nifl tavern song, “A Lament for Talonnorn”
In a sealed chamber in the Eventowers, Maharla Evendoom seethed, her rage making the mind-sending briefly flare ruby-red. The little bitch Taerune thrusting forward her slave as Olone’s champion? And aiming him like a hurlbow shaft right at House Evendoom and the other houses? How had she even known— Impossible. She hadn’t. She didn’t. She didn’t even know the crones and Holy-shes of Talonnorn could hear her. This was a desperate ploy to keep the Ravagers from killing her, no more.
A ploy that seemed to be working, thus far. They were lowering their weapons, not closing in and hacking.
Now Taerune was taking off her Orb and dropping it to the stones, and the Hairy One was grounding the points of his swords.
And the Ravagers—bah!
Ravagers couldn’t be trusted!
Ever, and in anything!
Fighting down her rage—the headaches of carrying on multiple mind-magics at once, and shielding one from the other always made her angry, even be...fore this—Maharla clenched her fists and bent her will on Ravandarr.MoreLess
