I was a little mixed up.  You've got it right.

"The surest way to achieve communion with Verra, the
Demon Goddess, involves human sacrifice, which my
grandfather had made me swear never to do....

"As I remembered, and let myself be filled by the awe
of the Easterner and the respect of the Dragaeran, it
occurred to me that blood sacrifice may be carried out
in more than one way.  I took my dagger and sliced
open my left palm, hardly noticing the pain."
