Carefully, she studied her Contract Holder, a mortal, a Consort who has fallen as many times as she had risen. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"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.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Rl Thacker\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798273169142\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Independently Published\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/05\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 284\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.84lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.64d","brand":"Rl Thacker","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":49170758828287,"sku":"9798273169142","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-consort-rl-thacker-9798273169142","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
