    Summary

    Jaskier finds himself trapped between the world of the living and the dead, with no memories of how it happened. He has no choice but to follow his Witcher guide to Kaer Morhen, the keep of the Lord of the Dead, where Jaskier must remain until either his soul returns to his body, or he passes on.

    At first, being confined to Kaer Morhen is the worst fate Jaskier can imagine, but he soon learns the Underworld, and its god, are nothing like the tales paint them. The longer he remains, the more he begins to wonder if staying would be so terrible after all.

    Beautiful world building. Once again, it had me on the edge of my seat and eager to know what happened nexts. Twists I didn’t see coming. I loved the characterization and how painfully sweet everything and everyone was. The wisps were adorable and Roach was, as usual, the best girl

    Summary

    The Wolves have served the royal family for generations, fulfilling their duties with skill and honor beyond reproach. The most trusted and experienced among them guard the royals themselves, dedicating their lives to their charges until death claims them, or they grow slow enough that another Wolf must take their place.

    When Remus sets aside his sword, it is understood that one of the senior Wolves will be chosen to guard Prince Julian in his stead. But, when Commander Roche comes to the keep, he names Geralt as Remus’s successor, and Geralt is forced to decide which oaths are worth giving, and what it means to keep them.

    Most importantly of all – what is he willing to risk for love?

    I love the Roche/Iorveth sprinkled throughout. This had me on tenterhooks the entire time I was reading it. I actually had to pause for a moment and take a deep breath after he won the tourney when he was going to request Julian’s hand. I’m so happy everything turned out well. This was so beautifully done. The world building and the story. Mwah

    Summary

    Coën has had a difficult year on the Path, and knows he needs to spend the winter at Kaer Morhen to recover. When he meets Jaskier at the base of the Killer, he believes his restful winter will instead be filled with torment- pining after someone he cannot have.

    Thankfully, he is mistaken, and can dedicate himself to courting the magnificent bard.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    I’ve never particularly liked Fate and Fae stuff, but this was kind of cool. I liked the characterization and limited cast. The emphasis and focus on the fae elements was interesting instead of overwhelming since they just picked a few things to focus on

    Summary

    Every Witcher knows that claiming the Law of Surprise is risky, Eskel more than most. He and his mates avoid it as much as they can, but when they save an Alpha noble's life, their lack of coin and a lean season force their hand.

    There’s no knowing what could be waiting for them at the Alpha's family estate. Eskel will settle for anything that can aid his pack, from food to something fit to sell.

    Turns out Destiny's plan is more aligned with Eskel's wishes than he's willing to admit, because what he finds is an Omega.

    I love how much of a flirt Jaskier is and how competent and stubborn they made him. It’s very nice and wholesome and everyone is characterized consistently and well
