Logline: Fleeing Janir, the High King his magic helped create, Neathander finds a home and love in the free kingdom, Rivensed, and its King, Aorin. But when Janir's army comes, Neathander risks everything to save the last of the lesser Kings.
After twelve years of conquest, Janir of Meanga has become the High King of all the human lands. At his side is Neathander Arian, the magician who once loved him.
Disillusioned with Janir's ambition, the violence of war and--most of all--with himself, Neathander flees north, hoping to escape Janir’s final war. There he encounters two lost children, and when he helps them find their way home he meets their father: Aorin of Rivensed, the last independent lesser King.
Neathander has done monstrous things, but Aorin is gentle and kind and welcomes him despite his past. Neathander, in his turn, grows to love him.
When Janir’s army marches on Rivensed, Neathander must defend Aorin and his kingdom. But can Neathander save them without losing himself… or will the love of a lesser King redeem him?

Logline:
“Could you not keep calling our escape pod a closet, please?”
“Apparently your entire wardrobe is escaping.” Kalsh shoved a suit down the rack so he could look at the man sitting beside him. Silky fabric licked at his wrist, dark and liquid as Feval’s gaze. The man was trying to be charming, it seemed.
Kalsh tried not to show how well it was working.
“I do need the clothes,” Feval said. “Darmanians judge everyone by their costume—especially foreign ambassadors.”
“Assuming we’ll make it to Darmania.”

Logline:
She stood with me on the balcony of the Palace, a mile above the city, and we watched the fireworks blossoming below us.
"They're happy for you," she said. Her golden eyes were bright, picking up the colors and gleam of the flares. Blood-red hair spilled around her shoulders, clad in imperial blue silk hardly smoother than her skin. And her smile was joyful for me.
"I'm honored," I replied.
"And happy, too, of course?" She grasped my hand, slender fingers wrapping around mine. I felt the energy of her grip, as if she were about to pull me into a dance.
I would join it, gladly. "Of course."
"Can you believe we're sisters now?"
At that, I had to laugh. "No," I told her honestly.

Logline:
Ansel knelt suddenly before him. “I think I want you,” he said. “Carnally.”
“Oh,” Luke said.
“But I can’t be sure,” Ansel continued. “I have no experience of…carnal matters. Any hint of them was forbidden at the monastery. Do you remember the gloves I wore with this habit?” He raised his hands, slender fingers and square white palms emerging from long, full dark sleeves.
Luke remembered the youth stripping them off the moment the monastery was out of sight. “Yes.”
“We had to wear them all the time, should our hands brush when we passed each other something. It was…absolutely forbidden.”

Logline:“The boy’s fine. He’s resting in the other room, where it’s…warmer.”
She sat up—too suddenly for someone in her condition. Instinctively, Liell reached out to steady her.
He felt the heat again, a blaze he hadn’t had time to prepare for, but it didn’t scorch him as it almost had the boy. And she felt his cold, the ice in his veins, but didn’t freeze.
Liell opened his hand, letting her pull away, but she did so only slowly.
“Does he know about you?” Liell asked.
“He knows what I can do. But I don’t think he’s connected it to the stories he’s been told, the warnings of demons.”
“How did you survive?”
She closed her long, flame-blue eyes. “It was difficult at times.”
