Dedication
To Jennifer Roberson and Fred Saberhagen. Thanks for proving overwhelming success does not have to spoil an author by bringing with it an overweening ego. Your example is one to which I pray I can do justice.
First words
The instant he touched the cold stone, Anastasius Focht knew he was seated on the Archon's throne.
Last words
(Click to show. Warning: May contain spoilers.)"It's time for a homecoming, and I'll wager it's one Romano Liao will never forget."
