    Summary

    “The prosecution calls Stellar Mere, Victor of the Sixty-Ninth Hunger Games, to the stand as witness against Coriolanus Snow.” Every citizen of Panem goes silent at the words, and in the courtroom, all heads turn towards the back as Finnick Odair pushes open the pair of solid oak doors. He stops and stands off to the side, inclining his head towards the woman who gives him no mind. She keeps her head high as she walks past him and makes her way to the front of the room.

    Gasps follow her, as Stell's open backed dress reveals the marks of cruelty left on her body. Years ago, it revealed expanses of smooth, tanned skin. Today, the same fabric does nothing to hide her bony shoulders, thin frame, and the scars that cover her entire back.

    The third and final installment of the Stellar Mere Series!

    Summary

    Prince Daeron "the Drunken" has always lived by that moniker, so is it any wonder that he finds himself taken with a girl from the Arbor who loves wine just as much as he does? As events unfold around him, can she help him conquer his dreams and become the man he was always meant to be?

    Summary

    On her honour, Naerys had not known her drunken fool of a cousin had conceived a passion for her handmaiden, nor that her fair friend had deigned to meet his glassy gaze. Naerys had always been fanciful, but even she could have never dreamt Daeron would steal Roslin away in the dead of night.

    Her father had been bemused, her mother affronted, her grandfather furious. Roslin had come to the Red Keep as a hostage, the price her family paid for their inaction during the Rebellion. She was never meant to be a dragon’s bride. How the gods favoured her proud, ancient blood.

    She could still hear her uncle’s cursing, something along the lines of the fucking Hightowers again. Oldtown celebrated from dusk to dawn, when word spread of the star-crossed lovers. In the end, Daeron and Roslin seemed content in their punishment: exile to serene Summerhall.

    Naerys thought the scandal excessive. If the Hightowers were truly beginning the game anew, Daeron was a poor choice for pawn. Her father would sit the Iron Throne; after him, Valarr.

    As for herself… well, she would find her own path.

    (In which Princess Naerys dreams of song and splendour while Prince Daeron's wife spirals in her sorrow)

    Summary

    Ser Duncan has a sword, Egg has a secret, and Mina has a headache that smells like Valyrian incense and swamp-root.

    A journal recovered from the ruins of Summerhall (or perhaps dropped near Ashford Meadow).
    The ink is stained with Kingsblood and pond-water. It belongs to one 'Mina of the Weeds'—a woman with the silver-grey eyes of Oldtown and the foul mouth of a Braavosi sailor.

    Summary

    "To be a bastard is to be a stain. And that's true all over the North, aye," she nodded. "But my father is a Manderly. And we keep the Seven. Same as you. Do you know what the Faith teaches about people like me? It teaches that trueborn children are blessed by the Father and Mother, and that baseborn children are sin. Products of lust. Wicked by nature. In a litter, I am no more than a mutt. What would a dragon want with a mutt?"
