Ghost in the Maze
“Lord Amazaeus needed to be a real person, not a fiction that Caina had created. So Caina complained to shopkeepers and placed orders for cloth and coffee and wine and Anshani silk. She did everything she could to create the impression of a spoiled, arrogant noble come to enjoy himself in the city. She even visited the Rose of Seven Petals in the Old Quarter, though she did not hire any of the establishment’s prostitutes. There were limits to how far she would carry her masquerades. And as she v...isited the city’s inns and coffee houses, she noticed them filling up with foreigners and emirs from the hinterlands. Callatas’s celebration was coming, and those who wanted to curry favor with the Grand Master flocked to Istarinmul. She began to feel a bit more confident about their odds. Thousands of guests would fill the Grand Master’s palace, and two minor noblemen and their retainers would not stand out. In the crowds, they had an excellent chance of reaching the Maze unseen. Unless, of course, they were walking into a trap.Unless they were betrayed.###Five nights before the day of the banquet, Caina sat alone with Nasser in the anteroom of Kazravid’s suite at the Gilded Throne.MoreLess
