Tides of Darkness (2011)
“Merian started awake. She had had no intention of falling asleep on this of all days, but the sun was warm and she was exhausted. The attacks had been growing stronger, the raids more numerous. The enemy had broken out of the bounds of Anshan and begun to raid again in random parts of the world.
Last night had been the worst of all: a dozen raids in a dozen places, towns and cities sacked, but for once no people killed—those who were not taken were left to do as they would. Tonight, she feared,... would be even worse. And she dozed in the sun in Ki-Oran, weighed down with the burden of the child. It would be born soon, if there was any world for it to be born to.
“Lady!”
She blinked at the young mage who ran errands for her. He was Asanian, and unusually fair-skinned even for one of those gold-andivory people. His face was deathly white now. “Lady,” he said, “there is a mage here from the northern coast. She will speak to no one but you.”
Merian sighed and heaved herself up.MoreLess
