Summary
‘Two monsters at my door,’ the voice said with a reluctant hint of amusement. ‘I’ll pass.’
‘I am no monster,’ Damen said, laughing in surprise, and then: ‘You are not a vengeful ghost, are you?’
‘I—’ the face reappeared at the window, leaning down a little so as to take a better look, and allowing Damen to see that it was a boy, or perhaps a young man speaking. ‘I am not a ghost.’
‘No promises on the vengefulness, I see,’ Damen said, and was surprised to see the boy smile.
‘I’ll help you,’ he said, ‘and you will return at this same hour tomorrow, and grant me a favour.’

Two princes died at Marlas.

Summary
"You sold me to Akielos."
The battle of Marlas comes to an end fizzling on uncertain terms when the victory Auguste earned fails to prove as decisive as he'd first thought. With his father dead and the crown unexpectedly placed upon his brow, sacrifices must be made for the greater good. Auguste cannot establish his rule and continue this pointless war at the same time - not without a high price in bodies and time and gold. Peace must be established, quickly, and it has to be the kind that lasts. Laurent will understand. Sometimes, duty and honor must take precedence over personal preference.
