    Summary

    After a lifetime spent dealing in secrets, Nefer has perfected the art of control—her emotions, her image, even the dangerous truth of what she really is.

    Lauma cares not for that illusion.

    Lauma is everything Nefer isn’t: open where she is guarded, sincere where she is calculating, and utterly impossible to read. What begins as intrigue grows into intimacy, and two creatures marked by divine strangeness find in one another the kind of understanding they had long forgotten was possible.

    Summary

    Shenhe is walking along the water’s edge when she first hears Yun Jin’s voice. Or --- a story of one halcyon spring, one sweet songbird, and finding home.

    It is not mere acting that draws your half-lidded eyes to the teahouse, nor the fluttering flags mimicking the movement of flames. It is metamorphosis, plain and simple. 

    The central figure onstage has shed their form: renouncing their identity to play the part of the dan. They straighten with the regal bearing of an empress. With a flourish of her fan, she displays a cunning nature — fit to outpace the second-rate schemes of covetous concubines with ease. She lowers her lashes to suit the whims of a coquettish courtesan, coyly hides her face behind the folds of her flowing sleeves. 

    When she emerges, they whirl about her like woven wings.

    Summary

    Lauma’s eyes shimmer under the strange, unnatural light of the cavern where Columbina has been kept prisoner. “Then allow me,” she says, her voice strange and thick. “If someone must assist, let it be me.”

    Columbina is lonely in her sanctuary. Lauma pays her a visit.

    Summary

    If it weren't for her position, buried between her empress's thighs, Hysilens could see what Cerydra has made of her, the dark purple of the woman's drink suspended in Hysilens' waters in smoke-like strands. But she doesn't need to—not when she can feel the subtle warmth of it, spreading inside her, not with the buzz of intoxication already settling in her temples.
