Lord of the Silent Kingdom (2007)
“A Fire in the End of Connec 7. A Fire in the End of Connec Tormond IV, being the Great Vacillator, kept Count Raymone Garete, Seuir Brock Rault, Brother Candle, and their companions in Khaurene all winter. And a hard wintef it was, out where the nobility squabbled. Hungry peasants flooded Khaurene. Serfs deserted estates where men were bonded to the soil. Their masters were too busy to hunt them down. They joined the bandits in the hills, became low-grade mercenaries, or drifted into the cities... where they lived by their wits. Meaning many became wood to be hewn by the heads-man’s ax.
Count Raymone chafed. He pleaded. He received letters almost daily begging him to come home. The best he could do in the face of Tormond’s intransigence was issue a patent to his cousin Bernardin Amberchelle authorizing him to take all steps necessary to maintain order and defend Antieux.
Brother Candle was appalled. Bernardin Amberchelle was an animal. He was stupid, vicious, and a stranger to conscience.MoreLess
