The Living Throne (The War of Memory Cycle book 3)
“Lifting his head slightly, he saw the base of the dais, the first few steps. Booted feet there, in the red and yellow and blue of the three armies. Further up, the slippered feet of a pair of mages or courtiers—one set black, one white.

He could feel the Emperor's stare like sunlight on his brow. From the corners of his eyes he glimpsed others kneeling: men and women in Sapphire uniform, dimly familiar. All of an age, more or less. Low twenties, prime o...f life.
“I am pleased to see so many distinguished and capable volunteers,” came a voice from on high. It sent a rapturous shudder down his spine, like Cortine's blessing but stronger. The voice of his master, his god. There was a casualness to it, an indolent sort of authority that he might have scorned if not for its source.
“You have all shown yourselves brilliant in my service, vicious as I require, and loyal to a fault. Know that regardless of the outcome this day, your kin will remember you as paragons of my Light, more than worthy to stand at my feet.”MoreLess
