The Broken (The Lost Words: Volume 2) - Plot & Excerpts
Nigella I said as James entered her small home. James preened. “I’m no longer a virgin.” She frowned. “No, that’s obvious. It’s something else. You’ve changed.” He nodded once. Yes, he had changed. Every day, the terrible burden of leadership was growing lighter. He was slowly becoming accustomed to the bitter taste of responsibility and power. Lies and deceit were his daily currency. But he had learned how to smile with his mouth only, and he plotted his countermoves carefully. With ample financial help, it was easy buying off your enemies. And those who refused to be bribed simply vanished. Guild Master Sebastian was his most ardent ally. The man was reformed. Or at least he never showed any hint of being anything less than honest and sincere and devoted to James. His private soldiers patrolled Pain Daye side by side with the local troops, making sure there were no insurrections against the future Athesian emperor. Back home, Sebastian’s ring of spies and assassins was slowly, persistently replacing the fashion of false claims with the political and physical death of his rivals.
