CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCES ALL THE REST
There once lived, in a sequestered part of the city of Dazra, one Mr. Godsfree Nicklesea: a worthy gentleman, who, taking it into his head rather late in life that he must get married, and not being young enough or rich enough to aspire to the hand of a lady of fortune, had wedded an old flame out of mere attachment, who in her turn had taken him for the same reason. But the man, angry at his station in life and the authority of the great Houses, threw in with the Zealots and threw away the love of a good woman.
[Charok Va'ruun's third novel is the tale of a young man who struggles to support his family after his father loses sight of the Great Serpent's true message, joins the Zealots... then dies penniless and alone, which also results in his wife's subsequent suicide.]
