Mistress of Masks (Book 1)
“Sorry, but it turns out Lord Karol is a shallow fop who cares for nothing but luxuries. The fate of the seclusionary means less than nothing to him, and he wouldn’t heed a warning from the First Mother if she appeared in the flesh to deliver it herself.
That much had become clear early in their meeting. As the corpulent lord sat on his velvet cushions, sipping wine and twirling his mustache with a bored air, his lack of concern for the warnings she delivered was obvious. The seclusionary itself was insignificant for tactical purposes, he assured her, and its inhabitants were a lot of dried up female clerics no one had any cause to disturb. Least of all some imaginary sorcerer from beyond the grave. He was skeptical of her visions and her connection with the oracle, and even unimpressed with the mark she wore to prove the First Mother’s favor.
Truly, she thought, if the lords of Asincourt had ever possessed a sense of duty toward their people or a reverence for the Mother and h...er adherents, that had been many generations past.MoreLess
