To banish her leggy nakedness from the surface of her wine, she said, straight out: “You know the other bar owners. The Alekeep’s proprietor has a girl about to graduate from school. Arrange to host her party; let it be known that you will sell those children krrf – Tamzen is the child I mean. Then have your flunky lead her down to Shambles Cross. Leave them there – up to half a dozen youngsters, it may be – lost in the drug and the slum.”
“That will tame two vicious Stepsons? You do know the men I mean? Janni? And Stealth? They bugger each other, Stepsons. Girls are beside the point. That Stealth – he’s a fuzzbuster. Surely–”
“Surely,” she cut in smoothly, “you don’t want to know more than that – in case it goes awry. Protection in these matters lies in ignorance.” She would not tell him more. Not that Stealth, called Nikodemos, had come out of Azehur (where he’d earned his war name) and worked his way toward Syr via Mygdonia in search of a Trôs horse, hiring on as a caravan guard and general roustabout. Or that a dispute over a consignment lost to mountain bandits had made him bondservant for a year to a Nisibisi mage – her lover-lord.
There was a string on Nikodemos, ready to be pulled.

Best selling author Janet Morris began writing in 1976 and published more than 30 novels, many co-authored with her husband Chris Morris or others. She contributed short fiction to the shared universe fantasy series Thieves World, in which she created the Sacred Band of Stepsons, a mythical unit of ancient fighters modeled on the Sacred Band of Thebes. She created, orchestrated, and edited the Bangsian fantasy series Heroes in Hell, writing stories for the series as well as co-writing the related novel, The Little Helliad, with Chris Morris. She wrote the bestselling Silistra Quartet in the 1970s, including High Couch of Silistra, The Golden Sword, Wind from the Abyss, and The Carnelian Throne. This quartet had more than four million copies in Bantam print alone, and was translated into German, French, Italian, Russian and other languages. In the 1980s, Baen Books released a second edition of this landmark series. The third edition is the Author's Cut edition, newly revised by the author for Perseid Press. Most of her fiction work has been in the fantasy and science fiction genres, although she has also written historical and other novels. Morris has written, contributed to, or edited several book-length works of non-fiction, as well as papers and articles on nonlethal weapons, developmental military technology and other defense and national security topics.
Janet said: 'People often ask what book to read first. I recommend "I, the Sun" if you like ancient history; "The Sacred Band," a novel, if you like heroic fantasy; "Lawyers in Hell" if you like historical fantasy set in hell; "Outpassage" if you like hard science fiction; "High Couch of Silistra" if you like far-future dystopian or philosophical novels. I am most enthusiastic about the definitive Perseid Press Author's Cut editions, which I revised and expanded.'
