    Summary

    There were more experienced heirs, charismatic heirs, nearer heirs. Yet Lady Theodora sends for a young nobody from beyond the Koronus Expanse. Aylin von Valancius, like anyone with two brain cells to put together, is baffled that the Lord Captain chooses her.

    But Theodora knows something about her heir that only she and a scattered flock of tech priests are aware of.

    In the wake of Theodora's death, Aylin von Valancius is left scrambling to figure out the true nature of her origins, one whose discovery could destroy the budding affections of Master van Calox and leave the von Valancius protectorate between the Inquisition's gnashing teeth.

    Summary

    "You have to come with me," he shook his head.

    His tone offered little room for argument, but she didn't care a bit.

    "Why?" Theodora demanded.

    "Because, Miss Byrne, to the great sorrow of the both of us, my saving you means that you are my responsibility until another steps forward to take over that role. Should you get yourself killed out here through sheer force of foolishness, it is a stain upon my character as well as your own. Now, will you come with me, or will you force me to drag you?"

    **

    When Theodora Byrne wakes up one morning, no longer in her cozy modern bed, but adrift at sea - and on a sea that's home to pirates, both undead and living, no less - she has no choice but to rely on the charity, and the eventual kindness, of Captain James Norrington if she wants to survive. She has no way of knowing the feelings that kindness will soon foster...nor what she'll be willing to risk for a chance to save him from his tragic fate before the end.

    Summary

    Silence fell, and all the knights - even the king - turned their heads, staring at the duke of Lancashire. Severus Snape became even paler than usual, before a flicker of rage came to life on his normally blank face, and he stalked towards Hermione.

    As the bastard daughter of king Tom Riddle, lady Hermione of Granger had been summoned to the king’s court. She knew it may have been nothing but a childish dream, but she had hoped for a court where nobility meant something else than blood, where mercy wasn’t paired with disdain, and true knighthood meant valiance, purity, hope and justice. But life at court seemed to shatter her hopes.

    Set in a Tudoresque era.
