Firethorn (2004)
“We should start humble; we can go no lower than to be what we are. But I was cursed with pride I should not have owned. I had misjudged twice, thinking the favor of one of the Blood had raised me up: first the Dame, then Sire Galan. I had step by step walked into this snare; I couldn’t gnaw off my foot as badgers are said to do in order to get free of it.Mai had warned me that the binding spell she gave me could not be undone, and furthermore it had a price: the tighter I bound Sire Galan to me..., the more I myself would be bound. “If I knew a way to tie one without the other, I’d have more coffers of gold than the king. There are those who claim it can be done—but never believe it,” she said. “That’s not the way of things.”Now I understood her.

Sire Galan never mentioned the maiden or the wager in my hearing.MoreLess
