Chapter 19: Averrane
The throne room of Averrane had not changed.
The same white marble stretched under the same chandeliers. The same galleries were crowded with the same four hundred faces, older and more richly dressed.
Thessaly walked down the aisle alone, in the red of Sunhallow, with the black-and-silver chain on her breast and the Queen's letter in her hand.

"The Orlanne girl."
"She looks like a general."
"That's the Wolf behind her," a lady whispered.
"She was the Chancellor of Letters to the Queen. I heard she wrote the Salt Treaty..."

Lysander was twenty-nine.
His golden hair had thinned a little at the brow.
The face she had known at twenty-four had acquired lines at the mouth that made him look tired.
