Summary
"What is the most important thing in a fight?" Istvan asked.
It was not pure strength, Erik knew. There was a man in Istvan's company, slender and hardly taller than Erik, who was so quick with a shortsword that he always outlasted heavily armored men in the training yard. Not skill, either. It didn't matter how often a man practiced or what he knew about the sword if his opponent was stronger, quicker, didn't have the sun in his eyes, had slipped into his quarters in the night, had planned ahead with poisons or reinforcements—
Well, there was more, but Erik realized that Istvan didn't necessarily mean a physical fight. Conversations were fights. Istvan said fighting with words was more fun than swords, because the field changed constantly. (Though Erik had seen him kill men with a longsword, and Istvan seemed just as pleased doing that.) Strength mattered in those fights, too, because a man could intimidate with his height and threaten with just a look.
The answer came to him. Erik sat up straighter.
"Advantage," he said.
Erik learns how to swim, how to wield a sword, and what kind of man he wants to be.

Summary
“A year?!” Merlin gawked. “No, surely you must be mistaken.”
“You two share a very deep bond, Merlin,” Gaius said. “Regardless of the nature of that bond. Given that destiny ties the two of you together, it may be even longer than a year.”
“A year is enough time to be married and hung for treason,” Merlin lamented. “I’m going to find the Amare Flower or die trying. Gaius, I need your help. Can you acquire a woman’s dress and belt for me?”

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.
