“Loulie flinched. So the marid had been punished for pacifism. She thought of Mazen, who had been abused for his kind heart, and of her tribe, who had perished simply for existing in the wrong place at the wrong time. It was as Mazen had said: it was always the people caught between greater powers that suffered.”
