Summary
“There’s nothing to be ashamed of, lad,” Chenyek says, offering relief without even realizing. He is speaking to the sodomy; Henry wraps it around his failure instead.
He needs to know the taste of someone other than Bartosch. Like how certain herbs neutralize others in his potioncrafting. The poppy of a lullaby potion, a forever sleep that Henry wishes to feed to the memory of that night in Trosky. The marigold to counteract it, to heal the festering wound of regret buried deep in his heart. Between the twelve bells of then and now, he could temper the hurt; he has enough of both flowers to brew something for the pain.
This is a love story told through the eyes of a blacksmith, a bodyguard, and a bastard. Henry sees none of those things as clearly as he sees his own failures. Then he meets a man who shows him that some mistakes can be forgiven... and so perhaps Henry can be, too.

Summary
Henry leads a simple life. He works at a hardware store, knows half the neighborhood, and earns a little extra money from work that's better left unquestioned. He's not a thief. He just knows how to move through the places where everyone else forgets to look.
One day, he's asked to take Hans into his home. No questions asked, all expenses paid. All he has to do is let him stay there without worrying about his presence.
They clash over everything. And yet, something about that forced coexistence slowly begins to change things, so gradually that neither of them sees it coming.
The problem is that Henry's life isn't as low-profile as he believes. And what seems like a routine job ends up dragging them both into something far darker, toward secrets neither of them wanted to reveal.
Toward enemies Henry thought he'd left behind.
Henry thought taking in the spoiled brat Hans would be an easy task.
He never imagined things would become this complicated.

Summary
There's something about Erik that doesn't add up. His shoes and clothes are posh—ridiculously so—and he's always got a fresh haircut. But Henry's seen him downing energy drinks and candy bars in a way this gym’s typical kale-and-protein-shake crowd never would. And his skin is scarred up as shit, with a whole collection of chicken-scratch tattoos.
Then the man who picks him up every day... Older, a little fat, with a round face and curly brown hair—he must be Erik's father, is Henry's guess. He pulls up in his sleek sports car right on cue.
But today, the window is rolled down. Before they drive away, Henry sees a thick-knuckled, gold-ringed hand pull Erik in for a kiss that isn’t fatherly at all.
What the fuck?
Henry meets Erik and Istvan while working at a gym and gets a little obsessed.
