    Summary

    Little is expected of Prince Viktor Targaryen. Scrawny and bookish, he is sent to the Citadel to earn his maester's chain. When his father, King Maekar, ascends to the Iron Throne, it puts Viktor second in the line of succession. The renowned and devout Ser Jayce Talis is sent to bring Viktor home to the Red Keep, where their bond grows beyond what is acceptable for a knight and his prince.

    This bond is tested as Viktor's ambition grows. He is the blood of the dragon, and dragons must burn.

    Summary

    “His mother has sharpened him into a threat. She sought to make him a man of Westeros, and instead made him a weapon.”

    For more than twenty years, Lord Edwyle Stark of Winterfell has ruled the North without a child of his body, leaving his late brother's son, Shane, as his only heir. When Lord Edwyle unexpectedly weds the Lady Svetlana of Norvos, Shane's position as heir is thrown into question. And when Shane becomes acquainted with Svetlana's axe-wielding personal guardsman—perhaps the only man in the Seven Kingdoms who can match his skill at arms—much else is thrown into question.

    Summary

    “Fuck you, Rozanov—”

    Ilya takes a step closer. “You would totally hate that, so why ask for it?”

    All of a sudden, Shane’s defensive posture deflates. He makes himself small under Ilya’s hard gaze. His frown disappears, and his elegant cheeks flush a deep shade of red. He avoids Ilya’s eyes like the plague, and his throat visibly struggles to swallow.

    It lasts five seconds before Shane tries to pull himself together, but it’s too late. Ilya catches it immediately, and his annoyance vanishes.

    Realization hits him like a motherfucking truck in the middle of the road.

    “Oh my god, Hollander.” Ilya’s voice is flirty and teasing. He tries not to smirk like a Cheshire cat, but he can’t help it. His cheeks hurt from the enormous, unapologetic smile. “You would totally love it. Right?”

    Summary

    “Ilya Rozanov,” Shane repeats slowly, letting himself taste the words. He grins. “Wow. You’re, like, a really good player. How come you’re in Canada for summer camp? Is that weird to ask? Sorry if that’s weird. I just meant-”

    Shane is cut off by a hand on his mouth. He flushes.

    “Too fast,” Ilya says. “My English… not good.”

    “Sorry,” Shane mumbles into Ilya’s hand. Ilya grins and shakes his head, curls dancing, as he pulls his hand away.

    “Is okay. Slow words. Okay?”

    This year marks thirteen year Shane Hollander's third summer at Coach Marakov's elite hockey training camp. In attendance for the first time: Ilya Rozanov, visiting from Russia. Shane isn't the most sociable, and Ilya's English isn't the greatest, yet the unlikely duo soon become the best of friends.

    It's just one summer, but it makes a world of difference.
