  81. About the Publisher

“The dog is staying. Tonight it’s just you and me.” She gave the tie a slight adjustment, and nodded. “There. Perfect.”

“Are you with me?” he asked.

She looked up at him. “Until the end,” she said.

Glossary

Magical Disciplines

There are two main types of sorcerers – Elementals, who possess the ability to manipulate fire, earth, water and wind, and Adepts, whose wide variety of disciplines tend to be more aggressive.

The Three Names

You are born with three names. Your given name is what you were called upon birth, but this can be used to exert some rudimentary control over you. Your taken name is what you use to protect yourself from that control. Your true name is hidden from you, and is the source of all your magic.
