The Dark Ferryman
“The healers had finally sent her away, saying that they would finish dressing Osten’s body for the memorial services. She put her forehead to the satiny wood of her threshold. Now she had no choice but to call upon Bistel. He would answer; Bistane had already assured her as they laid out Osten. There was no question of his answering.It was Bistel’s faith in her that would be called to the fore. If Quendius had hoped to disrupt her plans by taking out the general in charge of her forces, he had ...erred grossly. The warlord Vantane had been her first general, but he had disagreed with her, firmly, about her battle plans. “It is folly,” he’d said, “to depend upon the undependable. A Way cannot be the linchpin of your victory.” And he had resigned from his duties.But he would know, intimately, of her plans and would step into Osten’s place smoothly, if disapprovingly. Not a single one of the troops under his command, indeed, not even his own son, would know of the real reasons he and Lara had disagreed.MoreLess
