dromonde

Hyacinthe had the dromonde, and his mother before him.

It is for­bidden, among the Tsingani, for men to wield the dromonde.

He had committed an act that was vrajna when he used the dromonde on my behalf, that gift of sight he had from his mother to part the veils of past and future.

Of Hyacinthe — of his quick grin and his irrepressible charm, of his knack with horses and his gift of the dromonde — of Hyacinthe, the poets do not sing.

Kushiel's Avatar Carey, Jacqueline, 1964- 2003

In the old days, he would never speak the dromonde on my behalf.

It was there that Hyacinthe had grown from a half-breed street urchin to a young man with a thriving trade in infor­mation, a livery stable and a boarding-house, the self-styled Prince of Travellers who wielded the gift of the dromonde in earnest, my one true friend.

My Prince of Travellers earned his silver telling for­tunes to drunken nobles, using the gift of the dromonde; but also selling information and trading favors, and, more pragmatically, running a liv­ery stable and lodging-house.

I had no gift of the dromonde to read the future like an open book.

Kushiel's Avatar Carey, Jacqueline, 1964- 2003

Joscelin had been there, when Hyacinthe took on the doom that should have been mine, using the dromonde to trump the offering of my wits and consecrate himself to eternal exile.

I had answered it too, but Hyacinthe had used the dromonde, the Tsingano gift of sight, and his answer went deeper than I could follow.
