A Time of Darkness (The Circle of Talia) (29 page)

So, that’s it then
, Agmunsten spoke into Zim’s mind.
Do you want to tell Edmund, or shall I
?

Let’s not ruin their fun—like you said: it’s the last time they’ll enjoy anything like this for a while. There will be plenty of time to worry about it tomorrow
.

And the day after, and the day after
, thought the realmist. He nodded and drained his cup, holding it out for another refill. An hour later, as Agmunsten slid under the table and his vision blacked out, his last thought was of the prophecy:
A time of darkness is here. May the gods help us all.

Acknowledgements

This is where I get to thank all the people who help me every day. To all my author friends—your humor, understanding and encouraging words always get me back on track when I’m having a crap author day. Thanks to Robert Baird who does the most awesome covers in the universe. Many, many thanks to Chryse Wymer—without you my punctuation would be pathetic and my awkward sentences would be torturous and to Tonya Cannariato for proof-reading. Finally, to the readers who take a chance on indie authors, and in particular, me. Thank you for purchasing and taking the time to read my book, and a special thanks to those readers who tell me how much they enjoyed my writing—you guys make my day, every day.
