Addie felt no misgiving about letting him come along. She gave a small nod and started walking. "I'm heading to a lane just off the eastern market. There's an old woman there who makes pastries—hardly anyone knows about the place, but they're wonderfully simple and good." She smiled to herself, thinking of Anna, the girl she had served since childhood. "I always assumed a young lady raised in the palace would turn her nose up at something like that—but then one day she caught

After the banquet, Anna's mood had lifted, if only slightly—lifted because she had, for the first time, fought for something on her own behalf, and because her father had, for the first time, acknowledged her demands with even a fraction of genuine consideration. But three months. Not long. Not short either. What was she going to do with that time? Was she going to do something for herself? No—she had no idea yet. But when three months were up, was she truly going to marry Pr

The wind outside the city gate showed no sign of letting up. Jeffery leaned against the rough stone wall, right shoulder braced against the mortar seam, his posture deceptively idle—without a shred of genuine ease beneath it. His amber eyes were fixed on the heavy wooden gate, their gaze like coals that had been burning a long while: still on the surface, yet the heat underneath refused to die. His right hand pressed, without thinking, against the inner pocket of his coat; th

Facing her father, Anna straightened her back, as if propping herself up—even if only by the faintest margin—to gain a little more leverage for herself. The air in the study seemed to congeal. King Phetlantis did not speak at once. He set down his feather‑pen slowly, a gesture that betrayed no need to assert his authority with haste. His gaze lifted from the documents, settled on Anna—first her face, then drifted down to her hands, which hung quietly at her sides yet were sub

Beyond the castle walls, daylight had fully broken. Jeffery sat back down on the stone ledge. Behind him, his bay horse snorted, tail flicking as it pawed impatiently at the ground. He paid it no mind. His elbows rested on his raised knee, fingers laced, head bowed. Something in the depths of his amber eyes was slowly darkening. The stone he had held all night now lay between his fingers, its rough edges biting into his palm and leaving faint, shallow marks. He had waited the

The music of the royal feast had long since faded, and the night lay over Loxinitro like spilled ink, sealing the castle tight. Jeffery had not left. He had tied his horse’s reins to a low branch of an old locust tree outside the wall, then found a jut of stone to sit on, his back against the cold brick. One long leg was bent, the other stretched along the ground. His amber eyes were half-lidded, gazing up at a sky where most of the stars were swallowed by cloud. A faint smil

The night spilled like thick ink over the domed palace of Loxinitro. From the distant banquet hall, the faint strains of music seeped through layers of stone walls, whispering into Ioanna’s ears like restless insects. She slipped quietly from the opulent velvet bed, her bare feet grazing the cold marble. Her toes curled, her body instinctively lowering itself. In the flickering candlelight, her eyes gleamed sly and alive, and the curve on her lips held a freedom no one could
