Soul of Fire (2013)
“A preternatural might choose to disguise itself, to drape a glamour around its form to appear human, harmless, to moderate its voice into something flat and dull. When it did not choose to do so, there was no mistaking it.
“Sheer dumb luck.” The voice rang out into the room, silencing the other voices—but only for a breath of time.
“Luck that is recognized and acted on cannot, by definition, be dumb. Unless you mean to say that it is mute.”
“I mean to say that we stumbled into this ...world at exactly the right time, not because we planned it but because of sheer dumb luck.”
“Enough, the two of you!” Another voice, fierce and hot, dominating even them. “The consort bound us to the terms of the truce. Those terms, bound by magic, brought us here at the moment the dark moon would rise and our own strength would be at its greatest. Is that luck or destiny?”
It would have been unwise to doubt the consort’s wisdom or destiny, even here, far from his reach.MoreLess
