“Books were in the blood of the Briars; Sandor, great-great-great-grandfather of the clan, was a collector (less frequently a bookseller for he could hardly bear to part with the things), especially of tomes and fragments that had been salvaged from the Citadel at Cwen’s Reach after the Fall of the Little Sisters of St Florian. It was, reflected Anni, a mania she could hardly avoid.”
