Janet Morris
For Tempus...was a dozen storm gods' avatar no army he sanctified could know defeat no war he fought could not be won. Combat was life to him he fought like the gods themselves.
Janet Morris
I can start the rain. Bring thunder. Bring lightning. Want to see?
Janet Morris
Sometimes a man does what he'd most like to avoid.
Janet Morris
Bandara was not an easy place to return to: it could hide from the common worlds whose periphery it inhabited. But Bandara never had, in all its years, completely disappeared.
Janet Morris
