VOLUME CONTENTS
God of Vengeance. "Sometimes I feel that he is as mysterious as the gods, and that he is hiding something of vital importance from me. Something that would transform my life."
The Sword. "But what if I were to reverse the picture? What if I were to become the jackal and pursue them?"
God of Mercy. "I felt a deep stillness enter into me then, one I hadn't felt for many weeks – one I hadn't felt since the last time Fenton and I spoke. I understood."
The Bird. "The slaves are a second mystery."
God of Judgment. "'Spies don't fight – remember that.'"
The Balance. "'You asked whether you could do anything for me;
now comes the moment when I must take up your offer.'"
Blood
VowThrust into exile and pain, young Andrew has no choice but to accept
the friendship of the very person he had vowed to kill. When he returns
with his friend to his homeland fifteen years later, though, he finds himself
in a land of conflicting loyalties . . . where a vengeful god awaits him.

The Gods' Land. "I had come to tell him, in the cheerful manner boys have, that our world was about to be destroyed."
Land of the Chara. "'If I were to take him, in three months you would find him thinking and acting like a civilized Emorian. If you know how to discipline a slave, as I do, such transformations are accomplished with ease.'"
The Look of the Chara. "'You have not been raped or killed or enslaved, or watched as your city was destroyed on the orders of the Chara.'"
Land of the Jackal. "'I hope that you do not allow this visit to confuse your carefully acquired Emorian sensibilities as to the proper definition of loyalty.'"
The Eyes of the Jackal. "'The only way in which to bring peace is to find this Koretian rebel-leader and kill him.'"
The God's Land. "'If you cannot serve me, then you must be my
captive.'"
