    Summary

    "Right," Zemius said. "So—when Dora asked His Serene and Radiant Holiness the Last Emperor if the regency ceremony was a wedding, it reminded me of something, and well, Kip, I don't think you're going to want to hear this, but the thing is—it was a wedding."

    Summary

    It would only be one game, after all. He had sent Cliopher to Littleridge for less. Cliopher had relentlessly uprooted corruption in the examinations without him even asking. It was not too bad - he was not abusing his power - to play one game of chess with him, was it?

    Summary

    He went over the headline, the article, the headline again. He read the words over and over, but they refused to make any sense. A landslide, it said – but it couldn’t be right, surely? Someone like Cliopher Mdang, Lord Viceroy of Zunidh, couldn’t be felled by something so- so ordinary. Any storyteller with a bit of sense would know they had to come up with something absolutely spectacular if they wanted to make it a culmination of a life so astounding, so bright, so irreplaceable-

    He snapped back to himself when he felt a crushing grip on his arm.

    “Fitzroy!” Pali’s sharp voice pierced through the fog in his mind. Oh, it was raining? He suddenly noticed heavy droplets splashing on the pages. How peculiar. It was sunny just moments ago.

    Fitzroy mourns.

    Summary

    As Lan Zhan watches, the boy reaches down to where there's a mound of pebbles beside him. One at a time, he lifts the pebbles up, setting them aside, until he's revealed a low, spurting spring of water, arching out of the ground. He bends, setting his lips to it, and drinks, his throat working as he swallows.

     

    Lan Zhan aches, in some dizzying, unidentifiable way, as he watches.

     


    It's the story of three siblings, who stumbled across the hidden source of life everlasting: a magic spring.

    And it's the story of Lan Zhan, who stumbles upon the siblings' great secret. And what happens afterwards.
