    Summary

    Death has left a hole in Henry’s heart that gnaws and howls at him at any given moment. He hears a melodic laugh of a barmaid and thinks of his last conversation with Bianca. He sees the bellows give life to fire and thinks of his father warning him against learning to fight. Every time he walks past the refugee camp, he knows how fortunate he is, but at what cost? To live an incomplete life, not knowing if he is betraying the people he’s lost by living the life he currently has?

    ***

    After the destruction of Skalitz, Henry feels as though his life is bifurcated in irrecoverable ways. Before, he was a good Christian who believed in God and had a sweetheart in Bianca. Afterwards, he navigates new relationships while questioning a god that allows such devastation.

    A journey of acceptance, religion, and love.

    Summary

    Had those hands that now dispense charity not stolen, and choked the last mortal breath out of the bodies of fellow men? Had that brow that now furrows over brewing soothing potions not furrowed over deadly poison, too?

    Had this heart that now pounds in his chest like a bell of the monastery not hungered after things forbidden? Had it not rejoiced in dealing pain just as much as it had in helping others?

    Henry casts aside the Benedictine habit after ten strange and sacred days among monks and hymns. Then, to infiltrate Vranik in the service of his liege lord, he puts on a mask—one of cruelty, corruption, and violence— and it proves to slip on a bit too easily.

    He wears it well—and the comfort of it terrifies him.

    An expansion of Henry’s time in Vranik: facing his own dark desires while vying for Erik’s favour—and then facing his worst fears the moment he loses that favour, suddenly and irrevocably.

    Chapters 1-3 explore Henry - and Henry/Erik.
    Chapters 4-5 are near pure Isterik.
    Chapter 6 is catastrophe.

    Summary

    “I’ve never had any hope for a good king, or a fair war. Or for the sun to shine each morning. Or for good harvests. I have hope in you. Every day. And we fight in these battles for your future. Tell me you understand.”

    “I understand.”

     

    The war gives Erik bloody cuts and sweaty sore muscles, stinging eyes, bruises the color of leather. Istvan gives him armor of pure white.
