Summary
Three and a half years have passed since Empress Chenelo's death. Not even the imperial family gives much thought to her son, who is in the care of Setheris Nelar, in the distant Western Marshes and far from the court.
But vexing news come from Edonomee: Nelar is dead and Maia is without a guardian.
The emperor will have to decide on a new arrangement. For the sake of expediency, Nemolis volunteers to go to Edonomee and bring his half-brother to the Untheileneise Court. After all, the sooner a new guardian is found, the better.

Summary
Edrehasivar VII has survived the first few months of his reign, and his household with him. But it doesn't stop there. With a bridge to build, his marriage on the horizon, and the reigns of an empire in his hands, will Edrehasivar forge a new way for the Ethuveraz, or will he be consumed by it?
The sequel to 'The Stairs Beneath the Heart', this should also be readable on its own.

Summary
Five (and a half) times Cliopher doesn't notice getting propositioned at the Jubilee, plus one time he does (and one time he does the propositioning).
response to a kinkmeme prompt: If Fitzroy decides to keep his name and fanoaship quiet during the Jubilee, he runs the risk of people finding out he and Kip aren't married yet and taking what they think is their last chance to shoot their shot with Kip. Bonus points if all the courtly euphemistic proposals continue to fly right over Kip's head but Fitzroy perceives every one and is Not Pleased.

Summary
Rhodin sipped his coffee. “Are us roommates cramping your style?”
“No,” Conju demurred, in a way which clearly meant yes. “I value you all deeply and am satisfied with a . . . laissez-faire . . . living situation in our retirement.”
Ludvic stirred his coffee. Rhodin peeled a banana in a desultory way. They waited.
Conju sighed. “It’s just–“ Ludvic and Rhodin leaned forward as Conju continued, “– why does he have to be underfoot all the time? Overnight?! I came down for a drink last week and nearly broke my neck tripping over a middle-aged aristocrat. It’s undignified.”
