Excerpt
“Why take over Nereid? Why help the elves at all? They banished you for something out of your control.”
“Because their leadership lacks sight! I’m not just taking back Nereid for the elves; I will rule them, I will be the most powerful being on Nereid, and we will put man and the gods in their proper place. Below us,” Perses growls.
He takes a step toward Shea, and she takes a step away until they’re stalking each other within the small circle of ice.
“Then you should just kill me. Because I won’t allow that to happen. I want slavery to end, but I want equality. Not some reverse society crap. So if you’re not going to do anything, get the bloody Underdeep off my ship,” Shea commands, and stops pacing.
She walks the last few feet until she’s right in Perses’s face, staring him down.
