    Summary

    "Are you cold?" Henry asked.

    Without armor, in hose and gambeson, he was still an imposing figure: tall and broad, hands stained with dirt and blood, jaw stubbornly stiff. His bare feet were a shock of white in the dirt. He held his helm with both hands, embracing the metal into his belly. His hair was damp with sweat. There was another string of bruises on his throat, shaped like two wide thumbs.

    Hans looked away. The tunic around Henry's knee had darkened. Blood was trickling into the dirt.

    Hans kills a man, prepares for a wedding, and tries to do at least one thing right.

    (Or: five times Hans and Henry didn't share a bed, and one time they did.)

    At Suchdol, the war is over—but Henry and Hans are far from at peace.

    Summary

    In which the walls are thin, and Hans Capon's will to emotionally repress even thinner.

    Unfortunately, neither proves strong enough to withstand the sound of Henry in someone else’s arms.

    Summary

    Henry's story was forged in fire. Beaten but not broken, he fled the flames of Skalitz with nothing.

    What began with a vow of revenge became a war for more than just a kingdom—honour, identity, and a love he never saw coming.

    Summary

    After the noose, something changes.

    “Jesus,” Hans says, incredulity finally snapping his control in two, “what has gotten into you?”

    Henry’s head jerks back. “What?”

    “You!” Hans says, waving his hands as if to encompass all of Henry. “Why are you being so...” Hans clicks his teeth together. The words jumble and flutter in his head: subservient, obedient, coolheaded, patient, forgiving, why did you stick around even when I told you to go?

    “Kind,” Hans finally settles on, weakly.
