Returning to Ashok K. Banker’s Burnt Empire Saga for the climactic end of a series that the Los Angeles Times called “vividly evocative.”

The Blind King's Wrath

Sophia 

After all, a daughter or son who turned against their father was no different from a rabid dog that turned against its mother. 

And like rabid dogs, they must be put down.

To her, this was a chance to bring out her Behai side, the wild, wanton, anything-goes sword maiden who lived for the hunt, the melee, the battle by moonlight. The Behai regarded war as a celebration. 

She had no truck with patriarchy; if anything, she trampled over it. 

"I love you" she said, dabbing away the tears from her eye. 

"I love you too,” Vensera said. "May Mother Jeel go with you, my child.”

Krushni nodded to her father, Gwann, who acknowledged her and said, "End it, Krushni. End it."
