Elizabeth Haydon"Stop that immediately," he ordered harshly. "I forbid you to do that. If you want to come with us, you had best understand that you are never to do that again. Weeping and wailing is banned from here on out. Now decide. Come if you want to – if you can refrain from that noise."
Elizabeth Haydon is an American fantasy author. Her Symphony of Ages series contains two trilogies, a duology, and a final book, and begins with Rhapsody: Child of Blood (1999).

"Achmed Come with us if you want to live."
"Rhapsody: "I can sit watch. I have a dagger." Achmed: "Well, I for one will sleep much better now knowing youre protecting us, Rhapsody. Try not to hurt any small animals that might attack unless theyre edible."
"Between shallow breaths she began to mutter a string of inspired curses more vile than either of the men remembered hearing, much to Grunthors delight."
"Young Rhapsody: What did you put in the water this time? Rhapsodys mother: Sit all the way down. Lavender, lemon verbena, rose hips, snow fern- Young Rhapsody: Snow fern? We eat that! Rhapsodys mother: "Exactly. Why do you think the water is so warm? Im not bathing you, Im making soup."
"Rhapsody:"I’m Lirin-" Grunthor:"Ey, dont remind me. Oi aint eaten recently."
"Grunthor replaced his helmet and turned to Rhapsody. He took one look at the expression on her face and roared with laughter. "Allo, darlin. Oim so glad to see its love at first sight for you, too. Come along." He walked away into the night."
