Image
These Stepsons tread where mortals don't belong, some of us think. They seek out battle high above their station. Who knows what powers may yet take them and their mystic allies to task, bring them their comeuppance?
Janet Morris
Image
You count up your dead, every one. Always. Recall them, each and all - every face, every heart.
Janet Morris
Image
I must decide if you deserve to die.
