I keep thinking about the line were Cayleb and Sharleyan were talking about Nahrmahn "We are never going to stop that mind from thinking unless we cut it off from it's body and that is so messy!"

Although I am sure that Sharleyan would not mind Black Horse becoming a foot shorter.

Only because it would deprive her of the opportunity to put him on open trial for treason.

Shouldn't that be 'becoming a head shorter?' :D

Seriously, a good snippet and it'll be interesting to see where it fits in.

I think that the concise statement about this confrontation would be;

"Heedless - headless!" :twisted:

As for 'free snippets', my order for both dead tree and Kindle editions are of longstanding! 8-)

I find myself wondering if she brought along a detail for gathering up the household guard and control of the prison rather than magicly appearing in Black Horse's sitting room like Merlin did for Thirsk.

Thank you RFC, looking for a map showing the location of Maryksberg, is there one? How do you pronounce that?

There was never a doubt that I was going to buy the book anyhow...

But this simple snippet is motivation on top of motivation just in case there was any lingering doubt in my head.

In fact, when I DO get the e-version of the book, I'm going to break from my normal modus operandi of reading it through from the beginning. In this case, I'm going to actively search through the book for THIS snippet, and I'm going to read the lead-in context and the outcome.

I've got a pretty good picture in my head about what happens, but my, OH MY! This one is going to make some really, really good reading.

Thanks so much David.

You are an evil man sir.

But it's like I tell my employees all the time. Evil is only mean when it's funny, even if I'm the only one who is laughing.

I'll be glad when Nov 8th gets here.

Not sure about Maryksberg, but the Duchy of Black Horse is shown on the early world map of Safehold. One would think that the Duke of Black Horse would be at his keep at the time Nimue confronts him... The Duchy is not that large and probably has one large coastal port. It's east from Cheshyr Bay and west from Saint Howan's Bay.
