GHOST IN THE THRONE excerpt

Now working on Chapter 4 of GHOST IN THE THRONE. Time for an excerpt!

“I was thinking about history,” said Cassander.

“History,” said Kalgri in a flat voice.

“Yes,” said Cassander. “Iramis had such a long history, did it not? Stretching back for all those centuries to the very dawn of ages. So many centuries, so many names, loremasters and Princes and valikarion, all them written into the pages of history. And yet Grand Master Callatas became the last name in Iramisian history on the day he held the Star of Iramis aloft and watched the city burn.”

“I know,” said Kalgri. “I was there. Long before you were born.”

Cassander smiled at her. “Perhaps I shall be the last name in Istarinmul’s history.”
