Summary
Twenty years after the Trifecta lost control of Nikan to Hesperian occupation, the mainland Republic and the independent island kingdom of Speer have an uneasy truce. A young Seer, sent south to settle a years-old blood debt, is delivered to the island by Hesperian captors as a peace offering.
In reality, Chaghan is as much a would-be assassin as he is a captive. The Hesperians’ political machinations mean nothing to him, but with his life – and more importantly, his sister – on the line, he has no choice but to play their game.
Unfortunately, the Speerlies are kinder than he’d expected, despite the Trifecta’s poisonous presence. There’s something about their Prince he can’t help but notice – a haunted look in his eyes that he can’t quite hide, the lingering smell of smoke in his hair.
He just needs Altan to take these damn bracelets off him so he can kill him already.

Summary
He didn’t want to be right. Despite everything, despite knowing the way it would turn, he had wanted to believe in Altan. He’d surrendered himself to it. He’d put his heart on the altar.
After the end of the world, Chaghan mourns. He finds that memories, like the dead, are often restless.

Summary
Qara’s lips pursed. “Well, it’s… There isn’t much of a direct translation, but I can try. It’s a diminutive. Like… Oh, what would you call it… A pet-name.”
Altan almost choked on his own spit.
Altan experiences three things in rapid succession: an unexpected rainstorm, some new words in Naimad, and something dangerously close to emotional intimacy.

Summary
“Altan always does the voices. The dragon and princess don’t sound the same.” She pouted.
“Well, maybe they do this time. Maybe the dragon and the princess were actually the same person all along.”
Rin frowned. “That’s stupid.”
Due to a work emergency, Chaghan finds himself alone for an entire day with Altan’s beloved three-year-old cousin Rin. He tries his best to avert disaster.

Summary
“You should really have figured it out by now. I’m not planning on fighting you.”
“What?! Why not?”
“Because I don’t need to. It’s a waste of both of our time.” Altan glanced him up and down. He gave a dismissive shrug. “Anyway, you’re built like a bird and I could break you with one hand. It’d be too easy.”
In the valley, Chaghan and Altan come to an understanding. It takes blood, sweat, tears, and a healthy dose of hallucinogens.

Summary
Rin shoved herself up again, jaw tight. “I want to break his perfect, insufferable face.”
Kitay snorted. “Is that what we’re calling it now?”
She blinked. “Calling what?”
“That thing you’ve got,” he said casually, voice low enough only she could hear. “The one where your eyes go all glassy every time he talks.”
“I do not—!”Kitay just smiled into the dirt. “Mmhm. Sure. I mean, he is technically beautiful.”
“He’s infuriating,” Rin snapped.
“He’s shirtless. And unfairly symmetrical.”
“Gods, I should just kill you.”
“Just saying,” Kitay murmured, voice barely a whisper now. “If you ever want to sketch his back tattoo from memory, I won’t judge.”
