    Summary

    Ilya’s dad dies right before the 2017 All-Star Game, so he never learns that Shane and Rose broke up. While he’s in Russia, a threat from his brother makes him ask Svetlana for help and marry her so he can get a US green card—it’s meant to be a discreet, simple thing, but the Boston tabloids get a hold of it and then it’s all over social media. Three months later, Shane Hollander holds a press conference to share two things: he's leaving Montreal to play for the Ottawa Centaurs, and he's gay.

    Summary

    Heartbreak and hockey don't mix.

    Boston's Ilya Rozanov decides to do what he'd been putting off for years. He calls off his affair with Shane Hollander, Montreal extraordinaire, right before a Montreal vs Boston game. He gets a hockey puck shot right into his hamstring for it. Right in the middle of the game. Honestly, he never guessed Hollander had it in him to be vindictive.

    As for Shane...it works. He didn’t want to see Rozanov anymore. In this game. In this season. And now Ilya’s out. Ball and chained to healing and recovery, pain meds and physical therapy for the next year. Maybe when Rozanov comes back, Shane will be able to stomach breathing the same air as him again.

    And Rozanov will be back. That much is guaranteed. Shane just fails to measure how back Ilya Rozanov will be. If he thought Rozanov was a nightmare on the ice before his injury, he’s got a reckoning coming.

    Summary

    A sequel to A wolf amongst lions.

    Many years have passed since the Long Night ended. Since Daenerys Targaryen took the throne, ushering in a new era of peace. Since Arya Stark-now Arya Lannister-returned to Casterly Rock and began to do everything in her power to maintain that peace, just as Tywin instructed.

    Twenty years later, radicals of the Lord of Light are rising across Westeros. Wild dragons scatter across the land for the first time in centuries. The secret of Jon Stark's true family threatens to come to light every passing day. And many debate who holds the true power in Westeros: The queen? Or the Wolf of Casterly Rock. Amidst it all, Arya's children struggle to live in the shadow of their mother and their family name.

    Twenty years is a long time for peace. The question is not if it will end. The question is who will shatter it. And who will survive once they do.

    Summary

    Bilbo had a sudden, cheerful realization. “Oh, my, this must mean you’ve already dealt with the problem of the dragon without me!”

    Bofur frowned. “Bilbo, no–”

    “Sorry, you haven’t dealt with the dragon?”
