The Twisted Throne

A vow that Ahnna had reaffirmed to King Edward of Harendell in order to gain his support in the war against the Maridrinians. Drinking and God knew what else while Ithicanians were dying, as Ahnna had spent every waking minute either fighting to keep people alive or digging graves when she failed. Not because Lestara didn’t deserve their disparagement, for she’d caused the deaths of countless innocents in her quest to ruin Keris and put his half brother on the throne, but because she did not care for how much the women enjoyed being the punishers. Sickness roiled through Ahnna’s stomach, the pieces of the puzzle finally coming together, and the picture they revealed terrified her.
