Unlike most Veretians, he wears little jewelry. Laurent's style of dress is severe, as he typically dresses in long-sleeved, high-necked aristocratic clothing that covers as much skin as possible. It is significant that, though Laurent is aware of his high level of attractiveness, he never uses his appearance or sexuality to further himself in any of his political or military endeavours. However, Damen also notes that, like Jokaste, Laurent's beauty is something that one must forcibly shunt aside when considering him as it is the least significant thing about him, saying that it is difficult to associate Laurent with a physical body at all, as with him one is always dealing with the mind. Famously he is blond-haired and blue-eyed, with very fair skin, slender built, and is often paralleled with the Lady Jokaste of Akielos. Laurent's physical beauty is often drawn attention to in the books and is noted by many people in their discussions of him. Damen and Laurent after the events of the trilogy.

When Dez, the commander of her unit, is taken captive by the notorious Sangrado Prince, Renata will do anything to save the boy whose love makes her place among the Whispers bearable. The Whispers may have rescued Renata from the palace years ago, but she cannot escape their mistrust and hatred-or the overpowering memories of the hundreds of souls she turned "hollow" during her time in the palace. Now Renata is one of the Whispers, rebel spies working against the crown and helping the remaining Moria escape the kingdom bent on their destruction. As a Robari, the rarest and most feared of the magical Moria, Renata's ability to steal memories from royal enemies enabled the King's Wrath, a siege that resulted in the deaths of thousands of her own people.

At the root of all these disagreements were two sharply different visions for the nation’s future.Īcclaimed historian Thomas Fleming examines how the differing temperaments and leadership styles of Washington and Jefferson shaped two opposing views of the presidency - and the nation. They also argued violently about the nation’s foreign policy, the role of merchants and farmers in a republic, and the durability of the union itself. The chief disagreement between these former friends centered on the highest, most original public office created by the Constitutional Convention - the presidency.
