The intrusion of the woman into her party was ill-noted but well received. No one balked. Yet no one knew her either. But that didn't seem to matter much as she joined them.
"A man who can reign fire on us still has attachments. All men including the Ascendancy himself can be manipulated if the right strings are tugged."
