Summary
When Saliah, a healer in Meridian, decides to travel west to study medicine, she knows it won’t be easy to be a Carja in Tenakth territory, even with the Chief’s blessing. Against her better judgement, she finds herself staying with the fierce Desert Clan in Scalding Spear. She expects to find prejudice, but doesn’t anticipate that the person she butts heads with the most is the Commander himself. It doesn’t help that he’s annoyingly pretty and well aware of the fact.
Saliah is determined to focus on her work, despite Drakka’s distracting presence. After all, nothing will come of it, and he’s just staring at her because he hates her. Right?
Set after Sunlight in a Rainstorm but can be read as a standalone.

Summary
The Sun-King needs a Queen. One thing’s for sure, it’s not going to be Aloy. Unfortunately, none of the Carja noblewomen can match up to the lasting impression she appears to have made. Sun-King Avad seems fated to regret her forever.
At least, that’s how it appears to Kari, one of the palace workers, and she should know. She’s been in unrequited love with him for months. She’s determined that he’ll never know, because it’s an impossible hope. He’s the Sun-King, she’s a servant. He’s in love with Aloy and has never looked twice at Kari.
And she couldn’t possibly be wrong about any of that, could she?
