A Declaration of the Rights of Magicians (The Shadow Histories, #1)

by H.G. Parry

“Well, I keep expecting people to stop chaining up human beings and selling them across the oceans.”

“We all want an end to the trade in human souls,”

“There is no reason moral, rational human beings should refrain from using their God-given abilities just because they were born Commoners and nobody has yet seen fit to elevate them. That’s what the Revolution in France is all about, and they’re right. You know they’re right.”

when people were scared, they wanted somebody to blame.

But too often, people won’t listen. They don’t understand that freedom doesn’t mean freedom from labor.”
