Lady Of Mercy (The Sundered, Book 3) (2010) - Plot & Excerpts
He could not preside over ceremonies given for the nobility and had to hand that duty, in trust, to Benataan Lord Torvallen, the second of the Karnari—his rival for the seat of the Empire’s power. It had not gone unnoticed or unmarked, and House Damion’s fortunes and alliances had grown cool and somewhat shaky. He could now sit for hours at a stretch, but any walking tired him quickly—and he continued to keep his presence confined to his rooms. The lack of public appearances hurt his power base, but any display of weakness would harm it immeasurably. He bore his confinement with poor grace. Left alone, he had time to dwell upon the First Servant and the cursed slave that had slipped, at the Lord of the Empire’s behest, through his fingers. He should have killed the boy when he’d had the chance and taken the consequences that might have resulted; surely they could not have been worse than this. Yet how could he have known that the boy was of Line Culverne? How could he have known that the First Servant of the Dark Heart would have willingly harbored such a one?
