Interlude Three Interlude 4 Caliburn Prince-Magician Caliburn Citrine was having a bad day, the latest in a very long string of bad days. He’d been betrayed by his closest confidant, placed on house arrest by his father, and then only yesterday had been forced to flee his home under the cover of night. He now…

Chapter Twenty Interlude 3 Plumeria Plumeria had no idea where she was. She’d needed some space, some fresh air. So she’d left the Fifth Law’s hideout through Glorious Garments and went for a walk. She’d been wandering aimlessly—glamoured, of course—around the city for a few hours now. She no longer needs you. The words had…

Chapter Nineteen Out of the Dark Adelaide stood in the middle of the ringed table, looking outwards at the faces of the only people she could trust. She’d asked Theoderic to call the meeting, and, sure enough, he’d gathered most of the Law within the hour and brought them here to the meeting chamber. Most…

Chapter Eighteen A Moment’s Rest Adelaide trudged forward on leaden feet. Once the rush of battle—and victory—had faded, exhaustion had quickly overtaken her body. She’d spent most of her own red mana and much of Plum’s, though by now she’d regained feeling in her extremities. There was no helping the fatigue and soreness that threatened…

Chapter Seventeen From the Jaws Philodora’s words rang in Brandon’s ears as a stunned silence hung over the ballroom of the Golden Hold. She hung imperiously at the top of the stairs, her gaze focused towards Brandon, who stood with Plum conspicuously at the center of a ring of gawking nobles. There was a scrape…

A/N: This chapter is another interlude, intended to go right after the first. It is the new ending of Part One. Interlude 1 Interlude 2 Laszlo Two Days Ago Laszlo Tolemas was the sort of man who rarely heard the word “no.” Plenty of variations of a refusal were thrown his way, of course. He…

A/N: make sure you actually read chapter 16 (which should have been chapter 17 initially), I changed up some chapter numbers. Chapter Sixteen Another Dance “Announcing Magister-Adept Liana Aurelia Grace,” House Citrine’s herald announced into the great banquet hall of the Golden Hold. “And her escort, Magister-Adept Willam Adalric Carnation!” Willam and Liana stepped into…

A/N: so a quick note. I’m adding in another interlude and I’m taking the interludes out of the chapter numbering. So if you’ve already read chapter 16 and got confused because this should be chapter seventeen, you’re right! This should have been chapter 17, but since I’m changing up chapter numbers, this is now 16.…

A/N: I’m not sure how well the formatting on this one will work, especially on mobile. Hopefully it has the desired effect! The two lovers whirl and dance. Their bodies press close, and the music thrums in time with their gentle dance. A long, white dress; a fine black suit; a ring, on each’s finger.…

Chapter Fourteen House Citrine Brandon and the rest of the group followed Theoderic up the stairs and out of the chamber. This waystation was an even more unassuming pile of rocks—Brandon would not have been able to identify it as a ruin if he didn’t already know better. They headed off southwards down the wide…
