    Hi Fellow denizens of rasfw.

    Finished reading novel first of a series apparently
    by Mai Cortland. Set in the Republic of Payton, senatorial
    nobles very wealthy rule 8 provinces.
    They worship 5 Gods and this novel is concerned
    with the High Priestess of the God of Truth and her
    relationship with the Praetorian an official charged
    with protection of the Senate. The Senate is isolated
    in the old Palace of the old kings who called magic
    to build the empire but the last king was mad and nearly
    deathless.
    This happens to be a beautiful book except for the
    text: marbled end papers, great illustration of the main
    venue on the inside, front and back covers...

    Sorry to say this is not a favorite of mine and
    I will not be picking out but avoiding Mai Cortland
    or Meredith Ireland whatever the name may be...

    bliss
