Everything that I have is yours. To protect. To make better.” Now without further adieu, here’s the deleted scene. I originally had more content with Lara and Aren living in Eranahl, and this was part of that. None of this went through copyedits, so excuse any typos/grammar errors, as well as continuity issues.

Reid Diggory is a Chasseur, a soldier sworn to the Church who would see all witches burn at the stake.

The answer is from everywhere! Books, movies, T.V. shows, life, places I’ve been, things I’ve been told, people I’ve met, people I haven’t met, and the list goes on! She swayed toward him, rising on her toes to kiss his lips, and the light caught on the golden powder dusting her cheeks. Likely real gold. And that silk? Probably from Amarid. His mood soured. “You’re going to have to start forgoing certain luxuries. Ithicana can’t afford to keep you in the style of a Maridrinian harem wife.” Next to the romance, the world building is this book’s greatest strength. Jensen has created a lush, intricate world. She has painted a picture of not only how the world looks but also how it functions. The political landscape of the realm is described, as are its societies. It is a vast world, and only a fraction of it is explored in depth in this book, which makes me excited for further exploration of it in subsequent books.
