Dervish Daughter
A book of the True Game sequence, the second Jinian Footseer novel.
'I am called Jinian Footseer by some. By some, Jinian Star-Eye. And by
some, the Wizard Jinian. One or two call me Dervish Daughter...'
'They saw me! All of them but one were turned toward me, eyes upon me, avid
and victorious, not moving, not needing to move, for there were other
things swarming around me, binding me while the smoke held me fast. The
words came as though in a dream, from some distant echoing place. "Let
me have her," begged Dedrina. "No," the Oracle said, looking in my
direction. "Such is not what the Great ones prefer." I said nothing.
Lips and tongue did not obey. No part of me would move.'
They went into darkness then and Jinian Footseer was forced to follow. Into darkness and pain.
Then only darkness.
