    Summary

    Throughout the story, they are trying out names for each other. Some of them work. Some of them don't.

    There's one that truly stays.

    (Me finding out that Hans' name is actually Ptáček in Czech, which means bird? That's why he's called Birdie? I'm in love.)

    Summary

    “I want to look at you for as long as I can. I wish to stay with you like this and speak with you, even if you have nothing but contempt for me.”

    The tides of war may tie together enemies to allies or break friends into foes. In an era where the interests of those in power often clash, it is not unthinkable for people who once fought side by side to fall on opposite ends of the warring factions.

    Having finally succeeded his late father as the Lord of Rattay and Polna, Hans Capon of Pirkstein has lived through the years to witness the arrival and departure of many around him. Some enemies now fight with him for the same cause; some friends hold their swords against him when their principles no longer align.

    Among those who left his side to be with the opposition...was Henry Kobyla, once his best friend and faithful squire.

    In the year 1419, Hans, now among the leaders of his faction, leads an army to war, only to find his life nearly claimed by the ruthless battlefield. He wakes that night, however, to find someone already saving him from harm and taking him away from death’s door.

    That someone is none other than Henry, who is supposed to be fighting for the other side.

    Summary

    “And when they sing, send me a message with what you’ve learned.”

    “Wait!” Hans snapped. “Wait.”

    Both men turned their eyes on him, some surprise on their faces. Hans had been subdued up until that point, his pain taking precedence over futilely trying to escape. But the terror he felt now - as images of Henry’s mutilated corpse flashed unhelpfully before his eyes - made what he’d felt trapped under that roof feel like child’s play.

    “He-Henry is Sir Radzig Kobyla’s son,” Hans said to Otto. “You will get a much bigger ransom for him than you will for me, take him too.”

    Von Bergow scoffed. “I very much doubt that. He’s a bastard. Besides, it’s not money I’m after.”

    “That may be, but he’s his only son. If you want to hold Sir Radzig by the throat, take Henry. We both know who the brains behind the Leipa Lords’s movement is.”

    A different take on Maleshov where Henry is taken prisoner too.
