Sweep in Peace (Innkeeper Chronicles, #2)

by Ilona Andrews

Greedy can be bought, timid can be frightened, smart can be persuaded, but the zealots are immune to money, fear, or reason. A zealot’s psyche is a tightrope. They have severed everything else in favor of their goal. They will pay any price for their victory, and that makes them infinitely more dangerous.”

“There is only one time to make threats: when you intend to negotiate. I do not.”
