Summary
Damen's already unpleasant visit to Arles takes a sour turn when he and Laurent get into an argument.
“You’re unfair!” Laurent chokes out, wrapping his hands around Damen’s wrist, much like he did last night. “So what, just because I was –admittedly– a little cruel last night you decided to abandon me before the sun even rises? Do you want me to grovel at your feet? Beg for forgiveness?”
“I want no such thing,” Damen answers patiently. “You said yourself before we arrived here that our stay was going to last six months at most. We’re almost halfway done. Without me here to distract you, the time will fly and before you know it, we will reunite in our new palace.”
Laurent’s lower lip wobbles. “You’re willing to stay away from me for that long, then?”
Damen doesn’t hesitate to answer honestly. “If it will make you stop resenting me, yes.”
“Resent you?! I don’t–”
“You compared me to your uncle, Laurent.”

Summary
It's been seven years since Damen was crowned king of Akielos and Laurent king of Vere, seven years since the night at Ravenel, before things fell apart.
It's been seven years since Damen's dreams of Ravenel started haunting him, aching for a future that was never meant to be, aching for Laurent, for what he thought they'd once had.And after seven years, Damen knows it's time to move on. Can he? Can they?
A.k.a: What would have happened if Damen and Laurent wouldn't have fixed things up after their fallout in Kings Rising? How different would their lives be? And how would they come back to one another either way?

Summary
Seven years ago, Damen was part of the trial that condemned Auguste de Vere, a famous figure skater, for the brutal murder of his parents and three of the children he abused.
Years later, he's still a lawyer, working on his family's farm while trying to navigate his own struggles. Auguste's case is far behind him—or so he thought—until he receives a call from Auguste's brother, Laurent.
Laurent, now behind bars too, pleads for Damen's help. Damen's life, already on the verge of breaking, takes another turn when Laurent insists on his brother's innocence and accuses Damen of wrongdoing in having Auguste condemned.
Between the lies of the past and the untold truths of the present, Damen must figure out whom to trust.

Summary
Sex didn’t mean anything to Laurent. He liked it cheap and easy and often. No strings and no repeats. Except then there was Damen. Damen, who had a perfect boyfriend and a perfect life and would hate him if he knew what Laurent really was.
When things start to spiral and old habits start haunting him Laurent realises his comfortable apathy may not be enough anymore, but confronting reality and facing his demons just might shatter him completely. And he’s never been much good at putting himself back together.
