“The deal was struck. The weight of it settled onto Genthar’s shoulders like a cloak of iron. Jessar’s smirk lingered like the taste of bitter wine, and for a moment, Genthar wished he had refused—wished he had stormed out of Goldstone, consequences be damned. But this was not a world for wishes. It was a world where the past refused to stay buried and the future was bought with sacrifice.” — Shawn F. Parker
