    Summary

    Laurent de Vere, handsome, clever, and rich, with a moderately comfortable home and an immoderately bratty disposition, seemed to break up some of the worst matches in existence; and had lived nearly twenty-four years in the world with very little to distress or vex him.

    Summary

    Laurent gestured subtly, towards the other end of the ballroom where a group of men were talking amiably. “Him,” Laurent said.

    Auguste looked. “What about him?”

    “I’m going to court him.”

    There was a long pause. “That’s King Damianos of Akielos.”

    “Okay,” Laurent replied.

    Summary

    She kills Govart with Geraint’s sword.

    She hadn’t meant to. She had meant to leave the castle in silence, unnoticed, as planned.

    Vannes - a queen and a widow - is going to save a child, kill a king, and free a country. Maybe two. The question is - how?

    This is a direct continuation of Chapter 21 of Sunblind which can be read as a standalone.

    Summary

    “Pellar, cunning man, witch, sorcerer,” Laurent says, stomping hard on the shovel as he hits a particularly nasty root. “I’ve been called lots of things.”

    “And what do you like to be called?” the man with the summer voice asks him.

    Summary

    When Damen's a/c breaks right before an important dinner party, he finds the only technician willing to help him fix it.

    Unfortunately, that technician is Laurent.


    “Hey,” Damen says, before he even fully opens the door, “thanks for–fuck.

    He really didn't mean to say that; never would have, even, if he hadn’t been sitting in a sweltering apartment for the last twelve hours and been on the phone with intractable, obstinate technicians for half of that. If his brain hadn’t been boiling, he wouldn’t have. If he didn’t have this terrible dinner party to worry about, he wouldn’t have. If the man standing on the other side of the door wasn’t the most beautiful person he’d ever seen in his entire life, he definitely wouldn’t have.

    But he did.

    And the most beautiful (gorgeous, stunning, exquisite, annoyed, blond) person he’s ever seen in his entire life doesn’t seem too impressed by it.

    “Believe me, sweetheart, if I had fucked you you’d be saying a lot nicer things than ‘thanks’,” the man says, brushing past him with enough confidence to make Damen think he had invited him in and hadn't just been standing there stupidly, dumbstruck.
