Summary

Summary
Dead men tell no tales.
Orien Blackbones, a disgraced pirate and one of the several who ravaged the Absolute's reign of terror, has found himself flung into adventure once more on a voyage to find his long-lost father, who has traveled hundreds of miles across the Sea of Fallen Stars on a mysterious quest to find someone he once loved. As a once-mighty former captain, Orien is fain to sail the high seas once again— that is, until he finds himself plagued with powerful visions that raise tempests and command the very tides themselves. With five friends, his lover, and his loyal dog by his side, Orien slowly begins to unravel the mysteries afoot, learning that his ties to the sea reach far, far deeper fathoms than he ever could have imagined.

Summary
For centuries, Astarion wanted nothing more than his freedom. Now that he has it, he finds himself falling into old habits to secure his protection—only to discover that Imara is not the easy target he thought she’d be.

With Imara at his side, Astarion begins to understand that life has much more to offer than just surviving. His path toward healing won’t be an easy one, but he is determined to use his newfound freedom to reclaim his body—and his mind—so that he may finally begin to live again.

Summary
In the swirling snow of faraway mountains, a magical manor sits nestled in isolation. Its original vampire master fell to the knives of his spawn a century ago, and a new lord takes his place -- the cold, untouchable Astarion Ancunín, who severs himself from civilization, his heart cursed to be hard as stone.
In a warm village nearby, a bard named Ori ventures into the mountains to slay an old evil and finds herself pulled into a bargain -- her lifeblood in exchange for shelter from a winter storm that will never end.
But there are things warmer than winter, stronger than stone, and more powerful than a long-standing curse.
A sweet-and-spicy fairy tale with flavors of The Snow Queen, Howl's Moving Castle, and Labyrinth.

Summary
Chariot Mademerry, in the wake of her father’s death and academic expulsion from Blackstaff University, makes some not-so-great decisions resulting in a daisy-chain of more not-so-great decisions. Bearing the weight of a monumental debt, a younger half-sister’s well-being, and a missing inheritance, she seeks the aid of Magistrate Astarion Ancunín. The pair work together to (not-so-legally) navigate Baldur’s Gate’s abhorrent legal system, and in doing so uncover a conspiracy that threatens more than just Chariot’s missing inheritance.
… Meanwhile, Astarion, in his plan to exploit Chariot’s good faith and healthily-sized inheritance, does not realize he signed up to become a social adviser for Baldur's Gate’s most anxious wreck of a mage who can hardly speak a full comprehensible sentence in Common. Nor does he expect to become awkward part-time stand-in-father-figure of aforementioned mage’s sulky little sister. Really, even if he is a disbarred magistrate, he should have read the fine print more thoroughly.
