    Summary

    Twenty years ago, the Warlord of the North came down out of the mountains and slew the king of Kaedwen, taking crown and kingdom for his own. Everyone expected him to be overthrown almost immediately, but he has only grown ever more secure in his position. Finally, the other countries around Kaedwen have begun to negotiate with him as they would any other king.

    To seal the new treaty between Redania and the Warlord, Lady Milena de Roggeven, third daughter of the Duke of Roggeven, has been sent to marry whichever of the Warlord’s men he chooses.

    Milena is starkly terrified of everything about her new husband; every rumor she has ever heard about the barbarians of the north seems worse than the last, and Lambert clearly despises the very thought of marriage.

    Lambert of the Wolves is still grieving his lost lover, dead more than three years now. The last thing he wants is to be married off to a terrified stranger, and he can’t imagine why Geralt and Eskel think he of all people is suited to a diplomatic marriage.

    And neither of them suspects the treachery that lies behind the treaty which binds them together.

    Summary

    I’m pretty low on funds and need to make ends meet this month, Barnes types slowly into a new post three days later. I’m taking commissions for hits in the New York City area.

    Will partially refund payment if target turns out to be HYDRA.
    Will not go to Jersey. No dismemberment or killing children.

    Summary

    Somewhere, deep in a forest, a man drags himself from his grave by sheer power of will. He lies gasping on the forest floor and does not know who or what he is. The world is wide and wonderful, though, and there is so much to see.

    -

    Or, Jaskier is so stubborn that he literally comes back from the dead.

    Summary

    Lambert still keeps half an eye on the high table as the servants come with another round of decorative pitchers. Nothing smells like poison, and the Duke and Duchess seem to be on their very best behaviour, even if they look like they bit into horseshit.

    It seems Milena's parents really only wanted to see their smallest daughter.

    Or:

    The Roggevens are up to no good again. Lambert is caught up in the middle of it. Or… is it Milena who’s caught up in the middle of it? It’s up to your choices what kind of night they’ll end up having.
