    Summary

    The sweltering heat would have been clue enough, all else aside, that the ship they boarded was no human one. That, and the strange, lingering echo of their footsteps, too loud and too hard, sketching out a ceiling far taller and broader than needed to accommodate a human frame. Lan was struck, once again, by what a foreign place his new home was to be. 

    Here there be dragons, he mused to himself, on the teetering edge of hysteria. 

    "You were always fated to perish to dragonfire," came the answering whisper in his mind, immediate and unwelcome as a recoil.

    Summary

    The Stableboy Knight, they called him.

    His common birth should have been enough to disqualify him from the Royal Tourney, but the young Alpha was a bit of a folk hero, it appeared. There were tales spread widely of his adventures, fending off bandits and saving fair maidens, the wildest proclaiming that he had arrived to fulfill some prophecy.

    The King was disapproving, but there was little he could do. The Stableboy Knight would be allowed to compete in the land’s grandest tournament, for a prize purse dripping with riches … and the right to Prince Adequinn’s virginal heat.

    Summary

    “Ah. Here is a young man transfixed. Do you like Hunt, sir?"
    "Do I like him?" Phil tore his eyes from the painting before him and marvelled at the stranger at his elbow. Like him? One might as well ask do you like Michaelangelo? Do you like Homer? Do you like the Alps?
     
    An art enthusiast with a talent for meteorology meets (arguably) the Finest Painter in England. But impressing your idol can be damned hard work, especially when he's all pride and prejudice, and you're all sensibility and no sense. Heavy weather ahead...
