When the balance is restored, people get hurt.
Janet Morris
Image
All gods are tricksters, and war gods worst of any.
Janet Morris
Image
Sacred Bands and elite squadrons aren't what the mercenaries' guild is about. Field them at your peril.
Janet Morris
Image
The universe forgives those who give until their hearts are aching and their spirits weak, and finds a way to renew all strength and cure all ills, in this world or the next, if a soul can just have faith.
Janet Morris
Image
The city guardsmen were like the keres, doom-bringers of merciless vengeance.
Janet Morris
