“A noble gone bad, my lord. There’s no stopping him, not at all. He will say that he is owed something, and he has come to collect it.” The story is getting very intense and things are becoming heated between the nobles and the rogue. Alanna’s friend and lover, George Cooper who happens to be King of the Rogue is being attacked by Claw. Claw happens to be a noble who used to go by the name of Ralon of Melvan. Ralon of Melvan left court many years before because of the feud that he created between Alanna and himself. So in and of itself, Claw is wanted for treason against the crown and the reward for bringing him in is 1000 gold nobles. Ralon of Melvan is working hand in hand with Delia of Eldorne and Duke Roger (the man who attempted to kill his nephew and relatives so that he might attain the crown). George has had to move his mother and niece into the palace to live with Myles who is a knight and the father of Alanna. It’s becoming too dangerous to live among the commoners especially for the King of the Rogue. While all this is happening Alanna is away fighting to gain the Dominion Jewel to bring back for Tortall to make everything peaceful again and to have a new and powerful and everlasting kingdom, one fit for Jonathan to rule and her by his side. I think that people who go bad who are rich usually don’t return to their happy and normal side of life because they are powerful and commanding but the more I think about it the more it’s directed towards anyone with a lot of power will stay bad.
