Crusade, Book 4 Of The Turner Chronicles

Aaron changes his mind on asking Martha Hines, the assassin, a favor. He was going to have her kill Clack but decided assassination is wrong. Martha is disgusted, pointing out that not killing Clack could mean thousands of lives.  Missy and Kim have both thrown away their Talent Stones so they can be closer to the One God. Missy and Aaron have a long talk, again. In the morning Aaron meets with a representative from Nefra who basically begs Aaron not to beat up on them. Please give them time with their new rulers to straighten up and abolish slavery. Aaron agrees, rather confused about the entire matter, not seeing himself as the danger they percieve. It is revealed that Martha is the new ruler's sister.
