Jag försöker hitta titeln på en gammal bok som antingen hade en silver eller vithårad trollkarl i den.
Jag kommer ihåg många andra detaljer som jag kan lista
Bara andra saker jag kommer ihåg om boken är att det fanns en blond hårig flicka på omslaget med en blå klänning och på en av de andra sidorna fanns en fullfärgsbild av bard som innehöll ett instrument.
Det låter som Ruins of Ambrai av Melanie Rawn.
The Ruins of Ambrai is a 1994 fantasy novel written by American author Melanie Rawn. First of three in the Exiles Trilogy, it is set in the fictional world of Lenfell settled by human Catholic colonists. In the far past, the population is decimated in the Waste Wars, and the ruling class has emerged based on the ability to have healthy children. This leads to a very matriarchal society with women holding all the power and men treated as cattle.
The plot centers around a war between two rival magical factions, the Mage Guardians and the Lords of Malerris. In the midst of this war are the three primary characters, Glenin, Sarra, and Cailet Ambrai, sisters who were torn apart after the destruction of Ambrai, their home.
The book starts with Collan, who is enslaved by Scraller. Col is rescued by Gorynel Desse, and then Collan starts his work as a bard. The three girls are descendants of the Ambrai line. After a political confrontation, the father, Auvry Feiran, takes Glenin to Ryka Court. The mother, Maichen Ambrai, takes Sarra to Ostinhold, where Maichen gives birth to Cailet, but then dies. Sarra is then taken to live in Roseguard with Lady Agatine and Orlin. Cailet stays in Ostinhold as a relative of the Ostins.
Recensionerna på Goodreads nämner coifs och en bard och som du kan se täcker locket ha en blondhårig tjej i en blå klänning.
För att ta itu med några av de specifika detaljerna möter bard Collan (Col for short) en av tjejerna Sela:
Col had no idea what thanks might entail. When Sela tugged at his hand, he bent down and received a slightly sticky kiss tasting of candied violets.
Hänvisningen till St. Chevastos kuk är när han går in på sin chef Scraller (då han var Scraller's sida) i ett olyckligt ögonblick. När han flyger ser han:
Col pounded at the face of St. Gelenis First Daughter painted on the wooden door, fought with the gilded galazhi-horn handle the Saint smirked at: it was St. Chevasto's cock.
Coifs används för att dölja håret på män:
The hated coif was a woven hood that fit tightly to the skull and fastened at the throat with buttons or, in the case of Bloods and the First and Second Tiers, sigil pins. Modesty dictated that every male's head be hidden from brow to nape. Not a single hair could show.
