"Modesitt, L E - Corean Chronicles 3 - Scepters v1.1" - читать интересную книгу автора (Modesitt L E)

There is a time, and it will come, years hence,

when one will find the scepters of the day,

those scepters more and less than what they seem,

with the might to bring life itself to bay.



In those ages, then, will rise a leader,

who would reclaim the glory of the past,

and more, as he would see it, in the sun,

to make sure the dual scepters will always last.



Then too, the lamaial will rise, but once,

Where none yet will suspect, nor think to dare,

and his hidden strokes may kill aborning,

Duality of promise bright and fair.



For which will live, and which will prosper?

Who will rule the lands, in faith or treason?

One called lamaial or the one called hero,

for one would seek a triumph, the other reason.

THE LEGACY OF THE DUARCHY
