Ten whole years she’d spent adrift, the same as Myke Lycroft. But she had never started plotting a way to return to her glory. If anything, she’d been shrinking herself smaller and smaller, desperate to be seen as nothing at all.
They took great pleasure not just in the unfolding chaos, but the promise of killing the one and only Vandra Ravenfall, even if it meant they’d die doing it.

“This is good,” Vandra said. “They will assume all of you are impersonating the Four to pay homage to Grandhart. And that I’m doing a jaw-dropping impression of the cunning new woman from the latest quest.”
Elowen, like most Mythrians, saw the Ghosts as what they were, dead heroes from their past, forever honored for how they’d brought Mythria to life. These men saw them as something much grander.

No-longer-Lady Beatrice had more experience dragon-jousting than with feeling nostalgia.
She has memory powers
insouciant.
Could she not have one moment without Clares of any kind?

Not va magicky box flying thing?
While Beatrice urgently pressed the spelled runes on the wall, prompting the doors to slide shut,

“You followed Galwell into danger,” she pointed out. “Perhaps it was harder for him to lead you than you thought.
The carriage was long, sleek, and luxurious.
