    Summary

    Betrayed by his brother and bound by a magic he can’t even see, Prince Damianos finds himself overthrown and trapped in Veretian territory. Help comes in the form of Laurent, a Calligrapher who is specially suited to help Damen—for a price, of course. Safe passage to Ios is the payment, and together they strike out across the Veretian wilderness, dodging pursuers and finding help in the most unexpected places. Trust comes slowly, and Damen finds himself falling for his stubborn and intractable traveling companion. And sure, Damen hasn’t told him he’s a prince yet, or that he's heading to Akielos to reclaim his crown, but what’s a secret between friends? Or, as their journey goes on, lovers?

    But Laurent is hiding a few secrets of his own, and eventually Damen will be forced to deal with the fact that the magic that binds them can also divide them.

    Summary

    “He cursed me. I’m coughing up flowers, Gaius—what other possible explanation is there?”

    “Well, there is—”

    “He was mad at me, it’s exactly something he would do. Infuriating, obnoxious, goddamned sorcerer that he is probably finds it funny to—”


    It is said that the sins of the father should not be cast upon the son. Unfortunately, a father's miscalculated bargain can still come back to haunt you—Arthur is twenty-one, has a kingdom to rule, and apparently, a magically binding marriage contract with the Prince of Escetir. Prince Merlin, who has magic, a dragon, great dislike for Arthur, and still no intention to back out of the contract.

    The worst part is, to a degree, Arthur understands—as a sorcerer, he wouldn't trust Uther Pendragon's son either. So he simply has to convince Merlin that he can be trusted, and the contract can be broken while they secure peace between Camelot and Escetir. It's a good plan.

    Right up until forces conspire against both their kingdoms, more secrets come to light, and Arthur starts coughing up flowers.

    Summary

    “Don’t read it,” Damen says, urgently, and he tries to pull Laurent back.

    In Akielon and, oddly, Veretian, the wall of the cave says: What does your heart desire?

    Laurent already has everything that his heart desires. Everything except- Auguste.
