Jonty is a nickname for Jonathan?

Huh.

I’ll give you a palace when this is all over.

I don’t care about a palace.

Precisely why you deserve one.

My mother was the one who put the notion in my head. She told me a man must be good before he can be great, and she was very fond of saying we only get one chance at this life, so make it count.

I have been very happy here, she thought, staring around at her peaceful abode, where she had learned so much about love and beauty and kindness and peace - *the things that truly mattered in life*. But it’s time to say goodbye.

Every battle took a little piece of his soul. A part of him mourned for every life he snuffed out, even if the enemy deserved it.

😢

A man of war with a heart of peace.

...many religions in Veraidel, but to followers of Ilios, theirs was only true one.

However, since mercy & tolerance, charity & goodwill to one’s fellow man were all principles of the Light, Ilios didn’t mind other faiths existing. Every human being had to find the truth for him or herself. Father Ilios was big enough deity to be patient w/his children & much too gentlemanly to force his worship on anyone.

She had seen many things in her twenty-three years of life, but never so much death, and never such mad courage.

So Wrynne is 23. How old is Thaydor, the Golden Knight?

She didn’t have the highest opinion of knights ... most seemed thickheaded brutes who only lived to kill people and break things, but a paladin was another matter.

A paladin had a purpose and a code.

Not usually into sci-fi-type(?) romances ... but I do enjoy Ms. Foley’s works, so what the hey, right? 😬
