Master, command me. The two men charged with her protection looked like twin grey clouds. Whats he doing? Leithen asked. Jeren drew in a shaking breath, aware of the way her bosom heaved in that blasted corset. Gilliads eyes snapped towards her breasts and she blinked, the idea too appalling to contemplate. I need a favor. No questions asked. Ghenis, MRashina, he said in the lyric tongue of the gods, the high and holy language reserved for only the most formal of occasions. Will you welcome home your returning son? Jeren looked to her instead. The bodyguard didnt look much better than her lord and lover. Word came to us a week ago, said Elayne. “We tried to catch up with them but it was already too late. He snatched her from some sort of banquet held in Grey Holt to discuss peace. Took her, wed her in some manner—legal enough or so they say—and raped her until she was bound to be with child. Then sent the joyous news home. The family is sick with worry. They hardly dared tell Vertigern for fear of what hed do. He leaned forward, his smoky breath inches from my face.Christian Salyer was innocent, wasnt he? Thats why you tried to kill yourself. Why you continue the searches. And I told Jo to tell her about some alternative practitioners who might be able to help if she wanted to work through bad memories…, I came with him, with Lord Vertigern.

She throws up onto the forest floor; the bitter drink and the green liquor spattering into the forest floor. She scrabbles in the mulch.

This is the first place she looked at two in the morning? Doesnt that seem rather suspicious to you? Your totem isnt the owl, Jeren. Youre serpent-born! Shan spat out the words like venom.
