Rage of a Demon King
Serpentwar Book 3
Raymond E. Feist
BOOK III - The Mad God’s Tale
We are the music makers.
We are the dreamers of dreams,
Wandering by lone sea-breakers,
And sitting by desolate streams;—
World-losers and world-forsakers,
On whom the pale moon gleams:
We are the movers and shakers
Of the world for ever, it seems.
Arthur William Edgar
