Necessity. He is a man of the right tool at the right time. — Joe Abercrombie

After — Reza Aslan

Uthman R.a Quotes By Joe Abercrombie

Well, well, well. The mighty Uthman-ul-Dosht comes with mercy, and offers peace. These are strange times we live in, eh, Tulkis? Have the Gurkish learned to love their enemies? Or simply fear them?'
