SEVENFOLD SWORD: CHAMPION excerpt

Let’s have a short, spoiler-free excerpt from the book!
In today’s excerpt, Calliande engages in diplomatic tact:
Calliande opened her mouth to argue, and then a better idea came to her. “Like you said, I am a madwoman, and I have lost my memory. So you are going to refresh my memory.”
That seemed to resonate with the muridach leader. “Perhaps you ate some bad carrion and the parasites entered into your brain. That happened to three of my brothers and two of my sisters. And my uncle. He thought he was the Lord of Carrion reborn, and believed he could fly. Alas, he could not.”
“A tragedy,” said Calliande.
“Yes. My brothers and sisters mourned for him as we ate his corpse at his funeral feast. It was a most solemn occasion, and he digested well.”
Calliande kept the revulsion from her face. The dietary practices of the muridachs were not something she wanted to contemplate.
