MASK OF SPELLS excerpt

Let’s close out the week with a short excerpt from MASK OF SPELLS:

Perhaps Mazael could not trust her…but he could trust to her hatred.

Common enemies, Richard Mandragon had once told Mazael, made for a safer alliance than friendship or bonds of blood. The old lord had ruled the Grim Marches with an iron hand for nearly twenty years, so he had been right about that.

On the other hand, his teachings had twisted his son Lucan, so perhaps Mazael ought to take them with a grain of salt.
