    Summary

    When his army is defeated at the border, Wei Ying - a former General of Dazhi - is taken as a prize by the victor nation Beicui. He's resigned to a life of hard labor and an early death when a chance encounter alters his fate - he ends up in the manor of Prince Qing as a concubine instead.

    Wanting nothing to do with the fights of an inner courtyard, he takes pains to avoid the attention of the prince's legal wife and the other concubines. But all his efforts go to waste as the petty struggles for favor that consume the inner courtyard overflow, leaving death in their wake.

    Throwing himself headfirst into treacherous water, Wei Ying struggles against the current to create a future where he belongs and thrives, survive a present where danger hides in beauty, and tear down the powerful to get justice for the dead.

    Summary

    “I am happy to send this over to Blood Like Wine, if you’d like. Now that Walt’s officially been…” Harlan pauses and then says, delicately, “extricated from the procedures, the new publisher is someone I think you’d get along with, and I think he’d be very interested in seeing your work.”

    Ransom laughs, and laughs. “Fuck no,” he says. “I’m showing you this as a courtesy, before I take your spot on the NYT bestseller list with a rival company. Thanks for the meeting, Grandpops.”

    Ransom doesn't murder his grandfather. But he does publish bestselling mystery novel Knives Out.

    Two years later, he and Marta meet again.

    a.k.a. how hooking up with the person you least expect can send two people down the treacherous path of finding happiness

    Summary

    When her mother died, the first thing her father saw was the bottom of a bottle. When what was left of Rhaenyra's world collapsed in on itself, the first thing she saw was Daemon. It was only natural, she reasoned, that she'd turned to him, begun to orient toward this singular warmth; that petal by petal, she'd trustingly hand him over her layers as they unfurled.

    «« »»

    Sixteen-year-old Rhaenyra turns up on the doorstep of the uncle she never knew in the midst of dual familial and global crises. In isolation, a friendship of necessity blossoms into something more intimate and complex.
