    Summary

    He hears himself speaking with his mother’s cadence, in the soothing way she would welcome him home from a victory - take his head in her lap, stroke his blood-matted hair, and sing him her lullaby of justification.

    “A prince does not ask after love as one begs for a favour. He is made to take. To rule.”

    *

    From a shattered kingdom, a young stranger comes before Messmer, smelling of lilies and gold, with a story to tell and a favour to ask.

    Summary

    Where is it written? He will burn that, too. This should be a world that no longer chains them with rules, with proclamations and prophecies. They have torn that world down, an old curtain from the wall, and unrolled their mother's glorious tapestry in its place.

    So why is her blood pooling in his hands?

    *

    Those who have never birthed something from a forge think all fires burn the same. Messmer and Melina know better.

    Summary

    A lord must beware the knight who prays with a sword in hand and learn the weight of his own sweat-soaked silk.

    In Bohemia’s heart, two men carve sin into each other’s skin, begging the wolves mistake their moans for psalms and don’t sing their names to God.

    Summary

    Hans can't just give in. No matter how his body itches to be splayed out like the boarskin under their feet.

    “Win it, then," he says. "I brought dice."

    ***
    Henry and Hans get away. A hut in the woods, three days, and never enough time. Surrender is yearning's bastard son.
