    Summary

    By the cusp of adulthood, Strohl had a strong sense of who he was, and he was convinced of his position in life.

    But of course, fate has an aptitude for bringing a man to his knees when he is at his highest.

     

    After the destruction of his village, naïve young nobleman Leon Strohl finds himself thrust into a political gambit against his will by the disgraced and infamous Louis Guiabern, who proves to be as lethal as he is fair.

    Summary

    Alone again, with the pancakes not due to flip for another minute or so going by the lack of bubbles on the pale doughy surfaces, Will takes a deep breath and presses the backs of his knuckles into his eyes with a groan.

    He tells himself sternly to knock it off, because there's certainly no point in it.

    It's one matter to stand against the world as a person more hated than just about anything and to have comrades defend your honor and right to exist. It's another matter entirely, Will thinks, to imagine that he can… partake, in that same society, in all the same ways everyone else can.

     

    In which Will has some hangups about what is tacitly forbidden to him by virtue of being an elda amidst a nation that would prefer to see him dead. Along the way to untangling that complicated knot of internalized taboo, Basilio fights his own old long-standing battles. Together, perhaps, the impasses holding them both down might be broken.

    Summary

    “Four?"

     

    Will fails, utterly, at keeping the dismay out of his voice. Fortunately, he isn't the only one upset at the innkeeper's bored drone of an answer.

    “Four rooms, four beds. You lot do realize it's just past the height of the tournament, don'tcha? I've been booked up for weeks. You're lucky I've got anything available right now.”

    Will drifts back to where his blood-covered coterie waits, faces pinched and unhappy at the news. The dilemma is pretty cut and dry; they don't have a ton of options here.

     

    They'll just... have to share. For better or for worse.
