    Summary

    The concept of suffering a separation while in the midst of the magnitude of the Joining was... disconcerting, to say the least.

    Zosia had been claimed and had been discarded. But even after that, in amidst of sleepless nights soaked by whisky, Zosia was still needed – in safe doses and at safe distant – for Carol Sturka and all her contradictions.

    Summary

    From the moment Rumi was born, Celine moulded her to be King of Great Joseon. Rumi was smart, athletic, and capable, nearly perfect except for one glaring deficiency—Rumi was a girl. Celine hid this secret from everyone, raising Rumi as a boy and fooling the entire kingdom into believing that their king was a man. Rumi accepted this lie, knowing that revealing her secret would cost both her and Celine their lives.

    While the kingdom generally accepted their king’s more feminine facial features, the lack of a queen was something that simply could not be tolerated. At the late age of twenty-five, their king needed to be married and producing heirs and both Celine and Rumi knew that they would have to acquiesce to their courtiers' demands or face civil unrest.

    Luckily, Celine has the perfect candidate in mind.
