Prinz Eugen incident? Nicholas was the driving force behind what
happened there, as much as people point to Aleksandr. MercyтАж
pityтАжthey will all fall by the wayside when his anger cuts loose.
After twenty years of fighting, there is finally peace. Defiance is
not a concept that the ilKhan deals with well. Regardless of our
formal rules and traditions, he will somehow ensure that the
Wolverines are no more. I fear that defeat on the battlefield may
not be enough for him.тАЭ
Franklin said nothing for a moment. Gone. The ilKhan wants us
gone. What crimes have we committed that would have led to this
moment? The allowing of individuals to change castes? Negative!
That could not be it, not alone. Why have they all turned against
us? We are just like all of the others are our core, yet every Clan

Grand Council?тАЭ
She shrugged. тАЬI know them well enough that I believe some
may have the courage to join us. Until that time, I am unprepared to

There was a moment of silence between the Wolverines, the two
generations of the Clans. Franklin respected McEvedy as a family
matriarch. She had been part of the Star League Defense Force.
She had been in the epic battles to reclaim the Pentagon Worlds,
ending the Civil Wars. Franklin had come later to NicholasтАЩs ban-
ner; he had served, but had not been part of the Star League. He
