BookQW: Prepare

[lagilman]

 Since "insert image" still won't work for me, you guys are getting the text-only version.  Sorry!

This week's BookQW is "prepare."


From the story collection DARKLY HUMAN, a story about the daughter of a king, and the women she leads to confront Death itself....
 

“She would have gone into the Gate for her king-father.  I would have followed her anywhere.  I would have let her open my throat, if that had been needful,; had prepared myself for it to be done.”

-from “The Cost”
