The Consort: Within Her Shadow (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798273169142)

Her thick monocle caught the only glint of light flickering from the exhausted wick of a burgundy candle. Carefully, she studied her Contract Holder, a mortal, a Consort who has fallen as many times as she had risen.

"If you had to choose between the preservation of humanity, or to preserve humanity as it is, which would you choose, Scholar? If you saw the infinite futures that I have drunk up from Time's Wells...I had to choose. I know you hold no affection for humanity. I must admit, I have no affection for humanity, either. They are like a parasitic infestation once they come of age to have opinions, opinions that begin to hold weight. Even I had to cast out my own humanity to prepare for the grim future laid before us. If I move my pieces across the board of this universe after a board-wipe, it will be for them, the innocence who had no choice."
