Hey I just finished this book and one thing I don't understand is why Xaphirra had to leave Arrabar completely after she escaped? Couldn't she return at a later date, well at least when the soldier gave up looking? Surely it would be obvious to other nobles that a well known merchant noble family was missing one of its members? Wouldn't that seem suspicious?

This was answered when those books came out. Let me see if I can dig up the reply. Will edit if I find it.

It's on page two if that link doesn't take you to page 2. |
For some of us, books are as important as almost anything else on earth. What a miracle it is that out of these small, flat, rigid squares of paper unfolds world after world, worlds that sing to you, comfort and quiet and excite you... Books are full of the things that you don't get in real life - wonderful, lyrical language, for instance, right off the bat. - Anne Lamott, Bird by Bird

| Thanks that answered most of my questions but theres still the fact that no one noticed Xaphira missing, she was part of a well known family and no one ever questioned never seeing or hearing of her again? |

Hi, Blah99,
She was a mercenary and frequently away from the homestead. Though I never explicitly stated it in the novel, it is assumed that the family covers for her absence by explaining that she is away fighting.
