    Summary

    “Should call you the Ottawa Puppies,” says the Toronto centre, Svensson. As an insult it makes no sense, so Ilya ignores it, until he continues, “Hear Hollander keeps you on a short leash.”

    Ilya is the captain, so if anything, he should be holding the leash. In English, you can be singular or plural, but he knows what Svensson is trying to say. He is saying Ilya Rozanov, you are Hollander’s bitch.

    “Only sometimes,” Ilya replies, grinning. He wins the face off.

    OR: Ilya trains himself to be a very, very good guard dog for Shane.

    Or Shane and Ilya are granted an opportunity to come out on their own terms. Sort of. And in they do it in a very Ilya way. (Surprisingly, it is Shane’s idea)

    Summary

    When he was the Moon Prince, he would have done anything to ensure Lady Gyokuyou became the next Empress of Li. She was the kind of beauty that would bring entire empires to their knees. She possessed the wit and elegance of a ruler, and a caring smile that could melt hearts of stone. There was little wonder why she was said to be the late-Emperor’s favorite despite never bearing him a son.

    In which the Precious Consort returns to the rear palace and Lady Maomao doesn’t quite understand why the Emperor insists on wasting so much time with a sprig of hemlock when his garden now contains a perfectly cultivated rose.

    Summary

    There was an unnerving delight that sprung into those cold, intelligent eyes when she saw the tarnished silver within the cup. One had to wonder if his consort had a death wish as she reached for the poisoned wine with glee.

    In which the Moon Prince is forced to take the throne when the Emperor dies unexpectedly without another heir, and a certain strategist moves the pieces of fate out of order.
