FAITH OF THE FALLEN
Been re-reading these books and so here is a little book-canon (well, mostly) fancast for the SWORD OF TRUTH.
“For nearly an hour, she was lost among the ghosts.
Richard stood off to the side, leaning a hip against the charred remains of part of a workbench, one of the only things left inside the brick frame.
‘Do you know this place?’ he finally asked her.
She blinked at his question. She stared into his eyes for a long time, as if he, too, were a ghost. She stepped close to him then, her blue eyes finally looking away to let her fingers reminisce as they glided lightly over the remains of the workbench.
‘I grew up in this town,’ she answered in a distant voice.
‘Oh.’ Richard gestured around them. ‘And this place?’
‘They made armor here,’ she whispered.
He couldn’t imagine why she would want to see such a place. ‘Armor?’
‘The best armor in all the land. Double-proofed standard. Kings and noblemen came here to buy armor.’
Richard gazed around at the ruins of the place, wondering what more there must be to the story.
‘Did you know the man who made the armor?’
Her blue eyes seeing ghosts again, she shook her head.
‘No,’ she whispered. ‘I’m so sorry, but I never knew him.’
A tear ran down her cheek to drip off her smooth jaw. She seemed very much a child at that moment, alone in the world, and frightened.
Had he not known what he knew about her, Richard would have put his arms around this forlorn frail child and comforted her.”
