Excerpt:
The girl stared directly into Elinor's eyes. There was no
hysteria, and no more tears. Just sadness matched with a hard, cold
determination. “For the murder.”
At the word, Elinor felt a cold inside her that had nothing
to do with the chilling rain. “They were attacked by bandits.”
“They were not killed by mere bandits,” she hissed. “My
father was a tempered razor of the Aegis School. He was a match for a dozen
armed men. Perhaps more. That is no exaggeration.” She stared into Elinor's
eyes with a fierce intensity. “The death of my father and Lady Lliane was no
accident. It was an assassination.”
“Stop,” Elinor commanded. She looked around to be sure there
were none of Piersym's razors nearby. Two were outside, but on the far side of
the tower. Elinor assumed that over the rain, they wouldn't have heard what the
girl said.
“You don't believe
me?” Tae asked, the hurt clear in her eyes.
Elinor moved close, until they were almost nose to nose. Her
voice was quiet, but carried a sharp edge of intensity. “It is not about
belief,” Elinor said, holding the girl with her gaze. “You must be careful what
you say. Some things once said, cannot be unsaid.”
Tae looked confused and Elinor continued on. “If you make an
accusation, you turn your home into a den of wolves.” She shifted her eyes in
the direction of the Hearthfire razors on the far end of the parapet. “And
these wolves will not allow you to escape if they believe you threaten them.”
The girl frowned, but shook her head defiantly. “But you
said it yourself. You fought every day for what you believed in. How is this
any different than the rendworms?”
“Because this is not a fight you can win, Tae,” Elinor said.
