“In a quiet voice, he said, "How long's this been going on for you? With her." John took out a small pad he'd brought with him and wrote: Since the moment I first met her. After Rehv read the scribble, he frowned. "She feel the same way?" John did not drop his eyes as he shook his head. No sense hiding shit. Not with a symphath. Rehv nodded once. "That's so like her.

“Most reincarnationists also believe that the universe is governed by the Law of Karma. This law maintains that the world is just, and justice is equated with retribution. Everything good that happens to a human being is a reward for some previous good deed, and everything bad is punishment for an evil deed. The following is the formulation of the Law of Karma by Rayner Johnson, a leading academic reincarnationist: "Whatsoever a man sows, whether in the field of action or thought, sometime and somewhere the fruits of it will be reaped by him." It is not of course denied that for many of their good acts human beings are not rewarded and for many of their evil deeds they are not punished in the present life, but in that case the appropriate rewards and punishments will come in a later life, just as the happiness and unhappiness in the present life are frequently rewards and punishments for deeds in earlier lives.”

“From the shadows, the young heir to the throne came forward, his expression far older than his seven years. Wrath, son of Wrath, was, like Tohrment, the spitting image of his sire, but there the comparison between the two pairs ended. The regent king was sacred, not just to his parents, but to the race. This small male was the future, the leader to come...evidence that in spite of the affronts committed by the Lessening Society, the vampires would survive. And he was fearless. Whereas many a wee one had shrunk back behind a parent when facing a single Brother, the young Wrath stood his own, staring up at the males before him as if he knew, regardless of his tender age, that he would command the strong backs and fighting arms of those before him.”
