Summary
“I remember the taste of your skin,” he says hoarsely, “and the curve of your lips. I remember the way I looked at you in the dying light of the sun. I wanted to tear the galaxy apart with my bare hands and give it to you, if you would only let me keep you. I wanted to live in your heartbeat. In your blood.”
When Hiraeth Terai is sent to kill a whore, he assumes the job will be simple. But Damas Kyrion is not at all the usual type of hetairos, and the secrets he holds could burn planets.
As if that wasn't enough of a problem, there's also the way he seems familiar.
So familiar, in fact, that all Hiraeth wants to do is keep him.
Whether Damas agrees to it, or not.

Summary
In one hand he’s got a knife--the kind all the students keep to sharpen their nibs and carve their names wherever it’s the most pain in the ass to sand them out--but that’s not what’s got everybody frozen, because in his other hand the poor mad kid is holding all his beads.

Summary
When the King of Nasria dies, the fight for succession between his sons begins. Only one prince can claim the throne and he must kill his half brothers in order to do so.
Seneca, the third of five brothers, has every intention of claiming the throne. With their father’s ailing health, it seems only a matter of time for this to happen. But there is one brother who would present a challenging problem.
Ephram, the youngest brother and Nasria’s champion War Lord, has come back from the front line and set to undermine Seneca in every way. He plays the succession game with no regards to the rules, all except one. A promise he had made to Seneca when they were teenagers.
"I will have you on your knees."
Not if Seneca has anything to say about it.
