Return Of The Guardian-King (2010) - Plot & Excerpts
Trap was kept busy with the financial concerns of a holding triple the size of what he had previously managed—a task complicated by an across-the-board replacement of staff members in not only the palace but also at the Exchequer and other financial institutions. He had kept long hours, and was repeatedly called out of town—down to Peregris or Mareis or up to Deveren Dol. In the six weeks between Hadrich’s entombment and the crowning of the new king and queen, he was home in Fannath Rill maybe a week and a half’s time altogether. What little free time he did have when home, he spent with the Kiriathan exiles, trying to put out the fires started by their increasing intolerance of Chesedhan condescension, prejudice, and unjust dealings. An intolerance that seemed to have been intensified as much by little Simon’s return as by Maddie’s wild stories that Abramm was on his way. When she had first told Trap she believed Abramm was alive, he’d feared her difficulties in birthing Abrielle had unhinged her mind, that she had fallen into some grief-inspired delusion and was no longer connected to the real world.
