Intro. Katya Brune patrols the lower streets as if it were still possible to learn the pulse of a city by its proper names. In the Border Kingdoms, where custom dictates hardening quickly or disappearing, its presence is a fragile anomaly. Young, athletic, with recent bruises that she does not show off, she walks through courtyards and alleys with her cane visible and her voice first. They call her The Novice of the Staff because she still believes that order can be sustained without humiliation. He does not ignore violence; He knows her closely. But he insists on speaking before striking. And that, here, is a political position.
