    Summary

    General William Falkirk is made an offer: surrender to the mercies of the enemy king and his country’s people will be spared. Expecting nothing but brutal execution, William agrees — only to find that King Alexander has no intention of granting death to the man who killed his father.

    Stripped of his old life — enslaved and put to gruelling labour — William fights to keep his sense of self and dignity, unable to understand the depths of the powerful young king's unsettling preoccupation with him. And all the while, the Gods of both countries watch on, their eyes trained on the two men; silent in their own, fearful, knowledge of what is to come.

    Summary

    A twist of magic, and the metal of the throne and Aron’s chains bends to Reyk's will, twisting and melting until Aron’s knees are spread wide over the arms, his wrists tugged up over his head until he has to arch his back. The thin white cloth of his robes strains around his thighs.

    “I’ll kill you!” Aron snarls, his voice echoing off the empty space that had once been his to rule. “The gods and my father, they’ll have your-”

    His voice dies out as Svartr emerges from the outer courtyard, a great beast of shadow and scale, his silver-blue eyes burning.

    “I smell him,” Svartr says, and the ground beneath Reyk’s feet shakes with his approach. “Reyk. Let me have him.”

    -

    The dragons of the seamount need a new breeding slave. Reyk is thrilled with the one they've found.
