The day was hot and humid and I was sweating as I jogged in small circles in the round pen, the horse trotting around and tossing his head. My only consolation was that he seemed to be as sweaty as I was. Finally, I clicked my tongue at him and he slowed to a walk as I sank to the sand. Thankfully, the round pen was covered so we weren't in the sun, but it w...
If Boyle had been amused by the Lady Ayleth's modesty back at the hot tub in Dragontooth, her reaction to the casual partial nudity that was common in Corælyn, was even more entertaining. Even in the late autumn, the humid and warm winds from both sea coasts kept the temperature quite pleasant and the attire rather stimulatingly casual. For women, the presen...
Elves lined the walls dressed in hooded cloaks over their silver armor. All were armed to the teeth with bows and arrows, swords concealed in decorated leather sheaths, knives at their waists.

I tried my best to sleep, but I couldn't seem to get comfortable. My mind kept wandering to the lion in my living room and the odd things Sitri had said. When sleep did find me, I dreamed of...
"I've come to find you," Nigel said silkily as he stared hungrily at the girl he'd touched so intimately once in the castle of his master. "I've come to bring you back to Magnus and stop this foolishness." Luria's head was shaking, her wet hair causing the white shirt she'd taken from Balor's wardrobe to turn transparent. She could almost feel his eyes, tho...
Saban Time passed. In a room far from the sun, it was difficult to tell how much. It felt like months, but I wasn't very hungry yet, so it couldn't have been more than three or four days. I slept when I could, taking refuge in unconsciousness. There was a limit to how much my body would let me sleep, however, so I was awake right now. I sat and stared int...
