Summary
Jaffar and Yassamin's passion-filled holiday at the palace of Afrasiyab is shadowed by what they soon discover is a conspiracy against Jaffar's brother, Mohammad, the sultan of Samarkand. The Barmakid brothers and the women all set out to uncover the plot and to disarm the rebels by any means necessary; magic and seduction their foremost weapons in their battle to protect their beloved city.
***
"Sit down," Jaffar whispers and smacks Fadl on the arse, taking his own advice on one of the marble benches lining the pool. "You're not exactly being inconspicuous."
"Neither are you," Fadl groans. "You haven't stopped posing since we came here!" he grumbles and pokes Jaffar with an elbow as he catches him making eyes at yet another man. "What's gone into you, you madman? Are you in heat?!"
"Perhaps, brother mine, perhaps," Jaffar purrs and sprawls against the back of the bench. He leans on his elbows and tilts his head against the wall a coquette, letting his freshly-oiled hair tumble onto his neck and shoulders as he lounges there. The length of his legs allows him to spread them in blatant offering, his towel--if you can call it that--of thin white cotton revealing more than it hides.

Summary
A tale in which the characters, all in their own ways, experience dreams come true. Yassamin has a terrible, prophetic nightmare; Jaffar sets out to exorcise her fears with his unyielding love. Salsabil and Anwar have caliphate-spanning adventures of their own, realising faith can indeed move mountains. Finally, Fadl, Zainab and Lina sort out their love triangle--in a most pleasurable way at that.
With a despairing moan, Yassamin surrenders her terror and her fear unto the all-devouring force of Jaffar's love; soon, he's pinned her to the bed and the bed itself creaks from the blows of his hips as he takes her and he takes her. Still in their nightshirts, they cling to each other, his arms about her as vines; he buried within her, gathering her together as if to say: with this love, do I guard thee; with this flesh do I protect thy flesh; with this body do I protect the fruit of thy womb: that which sprung from thee and me.
And for that, do I love thee, she whispers back, a promise solemn as she melts onto his cleaving unto her. Just as herbs are crushed for medicine, so does Jaffar the alchemist now work her sorrow into sweetness: his love the fire, their bodies the alembic.

"scrying; the art of gazing into a dark mirror, water or crystal, going beyond the physical eyes and letting the inner psychic eye open allowing us to receive visions and information.”
“What you need to know,” she had said, “is that the things you feel, taste, think; they are not your own. You are just experiencing who or what you're channeling. Be careful, and don't lose yourself.”

Summary
Ronan’s dream lights fell dim and whispered away from the windows as Adam stared at the ceiling. Tension wrenched tighter with each heartbeat, words stuck at his throat that would not leave him but had to. Guilt was persuasive, and Adam had gone long enough hiding this. Perhaps too long.
“I have cancer.”
The words came out like a breath, and Adam wished they would slip away as one.

Summary
How they ended up like this, no one knew, but none were all too miffed. Ambushes and kidnappings lost the element of surprise by the tenth time.
As usual Arthur, Merlin and the Knights were out on a patrol. This time however, they were joined by an adamant Morgana who refused to stay behind when she heard of the recent attacks in the Woods and a Guinevere who seemed just as determined to protect her friends in the lower towns.
And following the weekly routine, they were ambushed and kidnapped. Nothing new.
Except, oddly enough, it was not in search of the King of Camelot, nor was it an endeavour for ransom.
They were looking for someone else.
They were looking for Emrys.

Bookmarker's Notes
left off on chapter 7
“Ronan pulled back and Adam kissed him. This kiss was the answer that Ronan had been waiting for. Ronan knew that Adam didn't do anything he wasn't going to give a hundred percent to and this kiss was a hundred percent all in. It wasn't a commitment. It was a promise that this kiss was enough for right now.”
🤍
Thirty seconds to midnight.One thousand and fifty-two days since Ronan last had a drink.
Twenty-five seconds to midnight.
Thirty days since Adam had crashed his bike into Ronan's car and his life.
He closed his eyes and buried his face in the crook of Adam's neck and thought one simple word - 'please' - because he didn't know exactly when it'd happened - maybe it'd been that first morning when he'd seen Adam looking sleepy and vulnerable and so not like the man who'd been arguing with him the night before, or when he'd seen those mathematical equations scribbled in his notebook, or when he'd learned that even with all of the education and knowledge Adam had collected, he still believed in magic, or when he'd found out that Adam was the bravest person he'd ever known - but he could no longer deny that, somewhere in the last thirty days, he’d fallen unquestionably, painfully, unreservedly, immutably, head-over-fucking-heels in breathtaking, stupefying, world-shattering, heart-stopping love with Adam Parrish.
