A Conflict Of Orders (An Age Of Discord Novel Book 2) - Plot & Excerpts
Heat radiated from her hull, warming Finesz’s face as she looked back over her shoulder at the ship. She heard footsteps approaching. A figure, in black trousers tinged red by the setting sun, and scarlet jacket turned dark by the fading light, was marching towards her at a smart clip. As it drew nearer, she identified it first as a man—broad-shouldered and narrow-waisted, close-cropped hair, darkly handsome—and second as a Housecarl. And from the lanyard looped through his right epaulet, he was a lieutenant-colonel at the very least. He halted before her with a crash of boots and a smart bow. “Ma’am. You are Inspector Finesz? If I may see your warrant?” She recognised his voice: she had spoken to this man from orbit. “Is this really necessary, Colonel Alezred?” “Your warrant, please.” Alezred had explained it all before allowing Lantern permission to land at Kukoi. His battalion of Housecarls controlled the aerodrome and had done since Ahasz had first besieged the Imperial Palace.
