Quotes edit see section history

• “...get up in three seconds, I'm gonna nail you with a biscuit.' Kylar struggled to open his eyes, and the voice went on without even slowing. 'One, two, three.' Kylar's eyes shot open, and he snatched the hard biscuit out of the air with such force that it exploded into crumb shrapnel. 'Dammit,' he said, combing biscuit pieces out of his hair. 'What'd you do that for?' Durzo was grinning from ear to ear. 'Fun,' he said.”

• “I am Sa’kagé, a lord of shadows. I claim the shadows that the Shadow may not. I am the strong arm of deliverance. I am Shadowstrider. I am the Scales of Justice. I am He-Who-Guards-Unseen. I am Shadowslayer. I am Nameless. The coranti shall not go unpunished. My way is hard, but I serve unbroken. In ignobility, nobility. In shame, honor. In darkness, light. I will do justice and love mercy. Until the king returns, I shall not lay my burden down.”
