    Summary

    "No," Sandrone agrees, "you're Anastasya's daughter. I'm sure you're used to things coming easily."

    Columbina's smile goes dangerously sweet. "You don't know anything about me or what I'm used to."

    "I know you're a competitive archer who's decided to add mounted archery to your repertoire. I know your mother arranged this because she wants you to have an edge in your sport." Sandrone's tone remains completely neutral, reciting facts without judgment. "What I don't know is whether you have the dedication to actually succeed at this."

    Columbina's whole life is catered to the whims of her demanding and controlling parent. When she gets sent to Fontaine to train for mounted archery, will she finally have a moment of repose?

    Summary

    "We're not so different, you and I."

    But they were different. Columbina was serene where Sandrone was anxious. Graceful where Sandrone was awkward. She baked perfect pastries at dawn and said profound things about sunsets and somehow made Sandrone's antisocial cat into a devoted admirer.

    And yet there was something in the way Columbina moved through the world—like she was slightly apart from it, watching rather than participating—that Sandrone recognized in herself.

    or;

    Columbina is an angel, and Sandrone is fated to die in a year.
