GHOST IN THE STONE update and excerpt

10 chapters down, 17 to go.

An excerpt from today’s writing:

“Why didn’t he tell me this?” said Caina as they descended the stairs into the Painted Whore’s common room.

“Because the experience of his life has taught him that mercy is weakness,” said Saddiq, “but his heart knows otherwise. Also, he thinks women are treacherous and fickle.”

“Do you think that?” said Caina.

Saddiq grinned. “I have three wives, and they have taught me that women are just as treacherous and fickle as men.”

Despite herself, Caina laughed.
