Shadow of the Father
““Dinah is the vixen intended to become your Lady. It will be quite good for the province. Her family, the Falavis, have not been part of the lordship in many decades.”
“And she’s the only one who could be Lord—Lady—in my place?”

“She is wilful and has misbehaved in the past. However, in light of recent events, it is possible that someone attempting to solidify their claim to the ...lordship might have kidnapped her in order to marry her and install themselves as lord.”
“But wait,” Yilon said. “I thought all someone needed was the crown.”
