    Summary

    Eight months after his apparent death, Lucanis was rescued from the Ossuary, and returned to House Dellamorte with new scars across his mind and body. However, with rumours abound concerning the First Talon and her abomination of an heir, a succession crisis brews within the Antivan Crows. When an attempt is made on Caterina's life, she seeks to clean up House Dellamorte's reputation, and reaches out to House de Riva in search of allies.

    Together, she and Viago arrange a deal: an alliance between their houses, through marriage.

    Trusting no one else with this task, Viago calls for the wayward Kallen de Riva, interrupting his search for the Dread Wolf. Forced to return home, Kallen must navigate the delicate world of Crow politics, all the while growing closer to the mysterious heir to the First Talon and his demonic passenger.

    Summary

    “Rook,” he says softly. He folds his arms alongside them, lifts one hand to stroke his thumb up the bridge of their nose. Their eyes have fallen closed again, but their ears perk, listening and leaning into his touch. They’re so tired, so defeated, yet they will persevere. Rook doesn’t know how to stop, and neither will he.

    “My place is at your side,” he continues. “Right here. Not back in Treviso, ordering the Houses around, and certainly not making decisions that affect all Crows in Antiva. If that is what I have to choose – between you and First Talon – it will always be you.”

    Ours. Ours. Always ours.

    Yes. Finally. Ours, and nothing will tear Rook from either of them should they have the opportunity to.

    Summary

    Lucanis can make observations all he likes. He can claim that Rook’s standing as an Antivan Crow is the reason he feels more confident in their venture, but there’s a small, treacherous part of him that can’t help but be drawn in.

    He knows not to trust, there’s no one he can trust apart from his family, but he’d found a surprising ally in the depths of the Ossuary, staging a daring rescue. Then as Lucanis’ world had come crashing down back at the Diamond, Rook had been there, steadfast in his sincerity. That kindness festers in Lucanis’ mind, still raw from a year of betrayal and torture. It doesn’t help that Spite picks at it like an open wound, pushing harder and harder for Lucanis to seek Rook out.
    _____

    Lucanis' life has been thrown into disarray. All he has left is a contract for blighted gods, and a Crow with a specific kind of optimism.
