Tak! quoted Blade of Dream by Daniel Abraham
In the course of a single life, a man can be many things: a beloved child in a brightly embroidered gown, a street tough with a band of knifemen walking at his side, lover to a beautiful girl, husband to an honest woman, father to a child, grain sweeper in a brewery, widower, musician, and mendicant coughing his lungs up outside the city walls.
I checked twice during the prologue that I hadn't opened the wrong book by accident.
