Quotes by K.L. Bone (?)

“Ancient Code of Knighthood Fear the gods Maintain the temples Serve the liege lord in valor and faith Protect the immortal roses Honor the immortal courts Defend the weak from those who seek to harm Grant succor to widows and orphans Refrain from the wanton giving of offense Live by honor and for glory Despise pecuniary reward Fight for the welfare of all Obey those placed in authority Guard the honor of fellow knights Eschew unfairness and deceit Speak only truth Persevere to the end in any enterprise begun Respect the honor of women Safeguard the virtue of the maiden fair Accept all challenges from equals Never turn your back upon a foe”
― K.L. Bone, Black Rose
