    Summary

    Jin Guangyao dies at the hand of his closest friend…and then wakes up in the room he once shared with his mother, a month before his fifteenth birthday. Determined to defy his previous fate, he takes his mother away to Laoling, where he blackmails Madam Qin into paying off Meng Shi's debt and giving them work in the Qin Sect.

    Two years later, Meng Shi is Madam Qin's bosom companion, Meng Yao is Sect Leader Qin's head clerk and trusted right hand, and Laoling Qin's prospects are rising as they prepare to host a gathering of sects great and small. This is all very well and good, except for Meng Yao's failure to consider that such an event must inevitably lead to him coming face to face with his former life's closest companions and greatest regrets—that is, Lan Xichen and Nie Mingjue.

    Who both think he's fascinating.

    Summary

    There were only a few things Idra knew about the Great Avar. He was, of course, related to Idra through his father's line; a younger brother of Nemolis Drazhar, born to the scorned, unfortunate Chenelo Zhasan. That was the source of his claim to the Barizheise throne: he was the grandson of the previous Great Avar, Maru Sevrasched. He knew that his half-uncle took as his standard a prancing lion known as the Corat' Anmeir, Cruelty of the Sun, in partial tribute to his grandfather's Corat' Arhos.

    It also might have been a nod to his Drazhadeise blood, which would have been bold if that was truly the intention, given that he had been disowned at fourteen.

     

    (Or: In the fifth year of the reign of the Emperor Edrenechibel IX, the Great Avar Maia Sevraseched came to the Ethuveraz for a state visit.)

    Summary

    The first time Maia Drazhar shows any aptitude at maz, he is five years old. His mother, the only witness to this rare and sudden feat, whispers something in Barizhin under her breath and due to her inattention, drops her teacup off its saucer.

    She never tells anyone of his ability; she has no reason to believe it would change anything.

    (It changes everything.)

    or, Maia would make a great wonder tale hero, if he could stop refusing the call
