    Summary

    Laurent wakes screaming. He’s dying. He must be. It’s the only explanation he has for the utter agony, confusion and terror that he feels. His brain is splitting itself open, bits of it strewn across space and time. He’s twenty one, in Arles, finally crowned. He’s fourteen, at Chastillon, on his knees for his uncle. He’s twenty, in Ios, watching a blade sink into Damen’s side. He’s sixteen, all alone, dreaming of revenge.

    Last night Laurent had thrust his arm at Damen, “attend me,” he had commanded, as if Damen weren’t a king in his own right. Last night, Uncle had sat on his bed, played chess with him. “I will always have time for you,” he had reassured Laurent, “even though Auguste has outgrown you.”

    Laurent leans to the side and vomits, violently. His fingers shake as he pushes his hair back, slowly, the room spins into focus. His hair is shorter than he remembers, Damen likes it long. His hair is exactly the same, cut by his nursemaid once a month.

    He is thirteen, at Marlas, and he knows everything.

    Summary

    "I think," Damianos said softly, "that you have not been treated the way you deserve."

    For the first time in his life, Laurent did not know what to say back.

    Summary

    To peacefully end the war with Akielos, King Auguste of Vere sold his brother in marriage. To some, that was his first mistake.

    As Laurent thrived in Akielos, his brother's rule suffered without him. Now the King of Vere has taken a prolonged Retreat from his duties, leaving the country in the hands of his chosen Regent, his uncle, Richard. In the south, Akielos is at war with her own people, a simple rebellion that should have been quashed in months stretching into years, as if their enemies somehow know their every move before they make it.

    Summary

    "You sold me to Akielos."

    The battle of Marlas comes to an end fizzling on uncertain terms when the victory Auguste earned fails to prove as decisive as he'd first thought. With his father dead and the crown unexpectedly placed upon his brow, sacrifices must be made for the greater good. Auguste cannot establish his rule and continue this pointless war at the same time - not without a high price in bodies and time and gold. Peace must be established, quickly, and it has to be the kind that lasts. Laurent will understand. Sometimes, duty and honor must take precedence over personal preference.

    Summary

    “Mmmh, Louans,” he murmured, pitching his voice to a seductive purr with practised ease. He turned over to face his patron, prepared to flutter his eyelashes—
    Only to freeze again as someone who was decidedly not Louans stared back at him.
    Louans?” The man frowned, his brown eyes puzzled. “Ancel, what—”

    As if waking up in a strange bed with a strange man beside him wasn't bad enough, it turns out Ancel doesn't just have to navigate the intrigues of the Veretian court without his memories to guide him. He also has to figure out whatever the hell is going on between him and Berenger, the patron he doesn't remember acquiring.
