Via my agent’s tweet,\u00a0 here’s a site with info on Limits of Power and a look at the cover<\/a>.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Hurray!<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, I’m struggling with a couple of scenes from Book V that don’t want to be written, which undoubtedly means I’ve messed up somewhere else…but still, things have to keep happening.<\/p>\n

And so you get a snippet.<\/p>\n

Who: POV is\u00a0 Prince Camwyn of Tsaia<\/p>\n

Situation:\u00a0 King Mikeli is on a progress to tour his realm, and has agreed to have his younger brother along.\u00a0 This is the first day; they’re on the River Road, heading east from V\u00e9rella.<\/p>\n

…………………………………………………………….<\/p>\n

To his delight, his own clothes for the journey included the mail Mikeli had worn some years before–not a perfect fit, but–as Mikeli said–it was no use changing the fit while he was growing so fast.\u00a0 By midday, however, he felt much less gleeful about wearing real mail.\u00a0 It was both heavy and hot, and as the morning heated up, he wished he’d followed Mikeli’s advice to wear it around camp in the evenings for awhile.<\/p>\n

He told himself to ignore it, and that proved easier than he’d thought as they neared the edge of Mahieran lands and ventured into unknown–for Mikeli and Camwyn both–territory.\u00a0 Ordinary-looking fields and orchards and pastures and patches of woodland…but ones he’d never seen.\u00a0 On their left the Honnorgat rolled on, sometimes near enough to see long-necked wading birds prowling the shallows fishing, sometimes screened by a field, a hedge, a fringe of trees.\u00a0 On their right, the land rose to distant hills, clearly arranged in some kind of pattern.<\/p>\n

……………………………………………………………<\/p>\n

Camwyn is curious, observant,\u00a0 and only restrained from pestering his brother and the lords riding with them about everything he sees by his initial glee at being publicly a prince…he’s been kept close, for his own safety and this is a huge adventure, from his perspective.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
