Letter Quote by Meljean Brook
““Mara gave you my letter?" "Yes." "You must have been astonished." She had exposed her heart in that letter. His eyebrows shot up. "'Astonished' is a mild word for it." "But you came - so you must have read the other letters. They should have prepared you a little." "I received no other letters. I had no idea you were in this part of the world." She shook her head in confusion. "Then how did you know to come?" "Yasmeen and I were in New Eden again - I have written that story for you in another letter - when a supply ship arrived carrying the rumor that Zenobia Fox was under the protection of the Kraken King. Needless to say, we abandoned New Eden and flew to Krakentown and full steam.””
