    Summary

    “Jonathan is of age,” says Lianne. She takes a slow sip from her tea cup. “I have respected his wishes so far to delay his bride search for the past two years, but my time is not infinite and I would do this for my son before the Goddess calls me.”

    “And the succession must be secured,” adds Roanna. Her dark, sharp eyes cross Wilina’s, although Wilina can’t read whatever message seems to be in them.

    “And the succession must be secured,” agrees Lianne, although she sounds very tired. “To whom—or to where, perhaps—would you suggest we look for a suitable match?”

    or, Wilina of Queenscove past the edge of her expertise.

    Summary

    And what is it Erskin wants, anyway? Does he even know? Chandrilan society shouldn't be much more appealing to him than Mon and Perrin’s marriage is, he's seen both of them at their cruellest and coldest; but part of him’s still yearning. At least with Chandrila he has Mon to bring him into it and lift and support and shield him and make it something that feels worth belonging to. She’s always at her least scathing and critical of Chandrila’s traditions and customs when she’s explaining some part of them to Erskin, as if knowing how much Erskin longs for Chandrila despite all its flaws makes her view it more kindly herself. 

    There’s the grain of a thought there. Something to come back to, perhaps.

    An unexpected visit from ISB leads to a few revealing conversations.
