He travels to places he had never heard of, meeting merchants and royalty, fishermen and priestesses. Returning home he brings his mother a necklace of intricate copper work set with aquamarines that remind him of the sea. She realizes her boy is becoming a man. Even as she accepts his lovely gift she knows she is beginning to lose him.
A voyage described only cursorily lays groundwork for journeys and alliances that will play out in marriages, wars, and a process of redemption for the son of a traitor. A linchpin chapter linking books 1, 3, and 5 in the Chronicles.
Yes, I am in chapter 8. And still having fun.
And now, to bed.
