    Candace L. Talmadge
    “Blinking hard, she watched two Toltec nobles disembark from the aircraft and rush up the steps. One of them argued with the priest who had
    proclaimed her death sentence. The taller of the two, wearing what she
    dimly registered as the uniform of the Generals Council, demanded the
    keys to her shackles.
    Securing them, he walked behind the post. A curious mixture of anticipation and confusion filled Helen. Although she did not know him, a tenuous sense of hope stirred deep within her simply because he was there with her.
    She turned her head from side to side, trying to watch him as he
    worked to free her. “Who are you, my lord? Why are you here?”
    “You sent me a lecture not long ago about your duty as a healer,
    Lieutenant,” he replied, on one knee behind her to unlock the manacles
    around her ankles. “I am your father.”
    ― Candace L. Talmadge, Stoneslayer: Book One Scandal
