    Summary

    “Why come you to the realm of the dead?” Death asks, and Phainon doesn’t know how to answer.

    Because Aglaea sent him. Because an entire people rely on him for salvation. Because the Flame-Chase is failing in their duty to protect Amphoreus from the relentless progress of Castrum Kremnos’s war machine. None of those responses are good enough; Death will demand more of him—more truth, more vulnerability.

    “We need the crown prince of Castrum Kremnos to turn the tide of the war,” he says.

    To stop the advance of Eurypon's war machine on Okhema, Phainon descends into the underworld to bring the long-dead Mydeimos back to life.

    Summary

    Marketed as the ‘land of love’ to those smitten enough to fall victim, the prerequisite for entry upon the Terra Amoris is about as baffling as it is laughable.
    “—And somewhere along the way, we have to fake-date about it.” Aventurine adds wryly. There's no way to beat around the bush with this one. “An honourable role to play with you, if I may add. I was meaning to ask — does that mean I'm gonna get to hold your hand, doctor? Get a little cosy with you? I mean, we'll have to make pretty convincing lovers, right?”

    Investigating strange new terrain across the cosmos, Aventurine and Ratio travel to the enchanting planet of Terra Amoris, where posing as a couple is their only ticket to entry. But as they navigate the planet’s strange rituals and unsettling gazes, they begin to suspect that the promise of eternal love hides a darker secret.

    Summary

    “I am glad to see you,” he says. It doesn’t feel like enough. “You walk into the room and it upturns my entire world. You know that, don’t you? It’s like gravity itself shifts. You don’t have to try. And yet—”

    “And yet, here I am, trying,” Aventurine cuts in, smiling, that gods-awful fake smile. He nudges the tray forward before taking a few steps backwards. “Trying anyway. And it still isn’t good enough.”

    “Aventurine. Don’t—”

    “Don’t worry, doctor. I’ll still love you tomorrow.” It’s said as if it’s a punchline to some cruel joke. All the while, Ratio is helpless to do anything but to watch dumbly as the distance between them yawns wider. “Next time, I’ll book an appointment. Enjoy your coffee.”

    Or:
    Ratio and Aventurine are learning how to do the whole relationship thing.

    Summary

    Phainon was too young, too reckless, and too in love with the idea of saving everyone but himself. So when his kingdom decided to send his childhood friend as a peace offering to the tyrant king of Kremnos, Phainon did what no one expected.

     

    He took her place.

     

    Wrapped in gown and secrets, he expected humiliation or death. What he didn’t expect was to stand face to face with Mydeimos, the feared immortal king… who looked strangely familiar.

    What started as a desperate bluff turns into something far more complicated. Between court politics, old wounds, and strange sparks neither of them dare name, Phainon finds himself caught in a situation that he had never imagined.

    But hearts can be reckless. Promise is soul-binding.

    And sometimes, the smallest choice rewrites everything.
