In the tempest...

Tempus shouted to Jihan, grabbed her arms in his hands: "Stop this; you can do it. Your pride,
and his, are not worth so many lives." A lightning bolt struck earth beside his foot, so close a blue
sparkling after-charge nuzzled his leg.
She jerked away, palmed her hair back, stood glaring at him with red flecks in her eyes. She

Acknowledgment
This novel evolved from a concept and characters developed within the framework of the
collaborative THIEVES' WORLD anthologies edited by Robert Lynn Asprin. Without Bob's
support, patience and enthusiasm, this project would not have been possible. Lynn Abbey provided
invaluable assistance, not only in clarifying logistical considerations and geography, but by providing
me with additional, unpublished material from the Sanctuary universe: her encouragement and
inventiveness are much appreciated. Andrew Offutt and C. J. Cherryh read parts of the manuscript
before publication and made valuable suggestions. Lastly, to all my fellow TW authors, I extend my
heartfelt thanks: every writer who has entered the Sanctuary construct has enriched the whole.
