The Ice Quotes

“Aeson twisted to avoid a young man who moved awkwardly around a merchant’s stand. He looked thin as a reed, with a shock of dark hair and an utter unawareness of the world around him. His eyes were fixed on a stack of books that sat atop the merchant’s table. “You’ve a good eye,” the merchant said, his voice fading as Aeson moved further away. Something about the young man had felt strange, something in the air around him, but Aeson couldn’t put his finger on it. He shook his head and moved forward. They didn’t have time to dawdle. There was a chance they’d lost Farda and the soldiers in the storm, but they couldn’t count on it. As soon as the cart was ready, they needed to leave. He looked at the satchel that hung from Dahlen’s shoulder. That egg would be the spark. And when Aeson was done, the empire would be nothing more than ash and dust.”
