    Summary

    “Are you sure?” Eleni asked him. “Boys can be more than a handful, you know, and you have—well, quite a job already.”

    George glanced back at Roach. The boy had his arms wrapped around himself, hands cupping his elbows where the branches had been.

    “We’ll make it work,” he said. “They say it takes a village, but a court should do quite nicely.”

    Summary

    After Kel breaks orders and invades Scanra to rescue her Haven civilians in Lady Knight, she is found guilty of treason in wartime.

    She escapes with the help of friends and does the only thing Kel could ever conceive of doing in that instance-- she keeps fighting Tortall's war.

    This is Kel, however; she is always willing to fight her battles alone, but people will always rise up to fight alongside her.

    Summary

    Serene thought about this for a moment, and then theorised, "Perhaps the fact that you are so much like a woman in some ways makes it natural for you to be more attracted to men."

    Luke started to splutter again.

    "Oh no, that was insensitive, wasn't it," said Serene. "I meant only that you are brave and warlike, with great endurance, like a woman, so... Don't look at me that way! It's a compliment!"
