Niko, you're halfway to where you need to go. It's the most dangerous time. And all the gods and forces have a stake in you, Hero. Or do you want to be just a memory, a cult somewhere, with people sacrificing horses to your name?

Janet Morris
Image
Gods colliding, ethos and mythos trying to combine. The Sacred Band caught up in a whirlwind not of any god's devising: he and Niko had wanted to save twenty-three pairs of fated Theban fighters. Now everything feels fated and fighting oversweeps its boundaries of time and place and plane.

Image
Shed your mortal skin and let me take you beneath the waves.
Janet Morris
Image
Everything that anyone respects is what men naturally excel at: fighting, accruing wealth, playing at power.
Janet Morris
Image
I'm just a weapon of the god.
Janet Morris
Image
It's all right. Things as they once were will never be again, but it's all right.
Janet Morris
Image
You're not one to take lightly, to love of for an evening and leave of a dawn.
Janet Morris
Image
Death is a doorway, Niko, that leads to an adventure greater than any you have ever known.
Janet Morris
Image
Fight for life itself and everlasting freedom of the human spirit.

To take care of the world seemed, finally, a privilege rather than a burden. The Riddler had led them to life's greatest victory. They had found a home.
