Bookworm II: The Very Ugly Duckling - Plot & Excerpts
Everyone knew that Inquisitors didn’t talk. Nor could they be bribed. The only person they talked to openly was the Grand Sorceress, who already had everything she could possibly want.

It had taken Duncan a day and a large expenditure of gold, but he’d finally managed to get a copy of Jamal’s file. The report of his crimes had been bad enough – Duncan firmly believed that the mundanes should stay in their place, but torturing them was just bad form – but the real shock had been the report of just who had testified against Jamal in the first place.

It was a breach of family loyalty ... “Really, father,” Charity said, when he summoned her and explained what he’d discovered.
