Forged in Flame (In Her Name: the First Empress, book 2)
“The sun had not yet risen, and the sky was filled with stars. The Great Moon, waxing now, hung nearly overhead. The harbor was empty, every ship having sailed out to greet the enemy. The huge vessels alongside the piers had to be towed out by longboats crewed by dozens of oarsmen, but once in open water their massive sails billowed forth on the night wind. The behemoths formed into nine single-file battle lines. The other ships formed up around each group before they all sailed to the east to t...ake the battle to the enemy. Li’an-Salir herself was on one of the great ships, having left her First in charge of the kingdom’s land campaign and, should it come to that, final defense. While Keel-Tath was still full of anger at the great mistress’s words the evening before, she wished her no ill will.
