Jharan shook his head. “I have done nothing worthy of that name.”
“You survived a horrendous battle, one that took our governor and seven successors.” Shilonan stepped closer, his gaze intent though his voice remained quiet. “Southfæld needs someone to restore its confidence after this terrible loss. Someone to look to for hope, as it did to Turon.”
“I can never replace Turon!”
“No, but you can follow him.”
Jharan stared at the steward, his chest tight with dismay. The others were all watching. He swallowed.
“M-may I have a moment?”
“Of course.”
We hope you enjoyed this sample of The Eighth Successor by Pati Nagle.
