Slender Reeds Quotes

“The child's whimpering eased. Merit-Amun, new mother, looked into the tear-bright eyes of her baby boy and swore by all things holy she would protect his life with hers. If necessary, she would defy her father, her country, every rule and expectation controlling her life. This child belonged to her and she to him.”
