The Dead God's Due (The Eye Of The Lion Saga Book 1) - Plot & Excerpts
He had long since passed the point of anger at the delay. In other circumstances, he might well have stormed out in an indignant huff, casting a few loud curses in his wake to make his displeasure clear, but not this time. His business was too urgent to permit such indulgence. It had taken some measure of arm twisting, once quite literally, to arrange the meeting, and he had no intention of allowing his pride to undo that work. Besides, it was becoming all too clear that this wait was deliberate, and leaving now would be surrender. Michael had been curiously unavailable since Yazid had delivered his treatise three weeks prior, and almost certainly, this situation was calculated to use up what little patience Yazid might still retain. It was, he conceded, a damnably effective maneuver. He tried to soothe his deep sense of urgency with the thought that this was Ilaweh’s way of teaching him patience, but the truth had a way of peeking through that bit of self delusion every few minutes, to prod at him like a mean child with a wooden sword might torment a caged beast.
