The Crown Tower (The Riyria Chronicles #1)

by Michael J. Sullivan

“Sure, right is what’s good for me, and bad is what I don’t like, and those things are very, very wrong.” “You really were raised by wolves, weren’t you?” “Yes, I was.”

“There’s doing what’s right, and there’s doing what’s safe. Most of the time you do what’s safe because doing different will get you dead for no good reason, but there are times when doing what’s safe will kill you too. Only it’ll be a different kind of death. The dying will be slow, the sort that eats from the inside until breathing becomes a curse. Understand?”
