Xelda The Shield Maiden of Arp: Part Two (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798998711893)

Time enforced by the puerile minions of Vatican Ost, based on the familiar Waltz of the Dour Hours (Lauds, Vespers, Matins, None, et al), and rendered in heartbeats following the current prelate in charge-Abbot, Bishop, Monk, Monsignor, Cardinal-whose purported purpose is to guarantee a holy place for dead cousins and aunts. But whose actual intended purpose is to stall the clocks to confuse the voters at election time, when a new king is chosen.
