    Summary

    Arlu's situation was what her father would have called delicate. She had willingly taken the oaths of a novice, binding herself to the Athmaz'are until she either completed her education or was dismissed. She was not yet of age, but at fourteen she was old enough to speak for herself, and her father had given his blessing very enthusiastically—her sister had said he was 'living vicariously'. Arlu belonged to the Athmaz'are until such time as her novitiate was completed; even if, like all novices, she was still technically a member of her father's house, it was not meant to matter.

    But her father's house was Drazhada, and if there was one thing Arlu had known since she was a little girl, it was that that made all the difference.

    Arlu Drazhin joins the Athmaz'are. It is a dream come true, and a greater challenge than she could have ever expected.

    Summary

    The thing that everyone keeps telling her, from the day she first expresses interest in knighthood, is how much harder she’s making things for herself.

    “That’s not necessarily bad, mind you,” Mama says. “There’s honor in doing what you know is right, especially if it’s easier to compromise.”

    “No one in this family can ever do things the easy way,” Papa groans, and then hugs her tightly and writes extensive letters to Aunt Kel.
