Talon (The Astor Chronicles Book 1) - Plot & Excerpts
‘In a manner,’ she replied. ‘I am… was… one of the prime’s guardians. He had me trained from a young age and liked to keep me close by.’ ‘Your father?’ I asked, recalling what Ivon had told me a few weeks back. A look of surprise crossed her face, but she quickly shrugged it off. ‘I wondered if I was his “guardian” so that he could keep a close eye on me. He doesn’t really need me.’ ‘Clearly,’ I replied. ‘You’re here.’ She licked her lips pensively. ‘Mmm… let’s just say my appointment as Ambassador wasn’t among my father’s plans for my life.’ I looked at her with awe. ‘You’re Lyth’s ambassador?’ It was a worthy appointment, bestowed only upon the most trustworthy. Ambassadors went forth as spokespeople for their nation, usually in times of war, to form alliances. An ambassador was expected to travel to the courts of nobles, regents or kings and work out policies or alliances with them. With the Rada nations of Jaria and Lyth this involved contacting their prime leader, over vast distances, to outline and agree upon the terms of a negotiation.
