Dangerous Ground
“No business of yours.” Savage said. Giving him an icy blue study.
“No, it’s not.” The Nauvree admitted. “But, as I said, I’m curious. Are you giving it to the peasants?”
Not your affair. Savage tossed him a quick look. Surprised by the assassin’s determination on this subject.
“Because it involves your brother?”
“My twin.” The Nauvree straightened. Sighing in a way that said they weren’t close. “You were watching us.”
“I see most things.” Savage shifted against the counter to face Nauvree. “What precisely is this about?”
“Are you giving them away?”
“What of it?” Savage tipped his head up to stare down his nose threatening

King of the Seditious Not Taking the News Well
Rhyer’s House, Mane Country THE NAUVREE “Oh no…” Dimurah shook her head frantically. Having just been told by a man she called friend, The Nauvree, that Savage had arrived here. In Rhyer’s country house. Where he’d taken her after finding her wandering the perilous landbridge between Sourthern Vale and Sanctuary Island. She backed up still shaking her head in denial. Refusing to accept that he’d found her already. “No. No!” She turned and fled from the parlor into the entryway, heading for the stairs. “He’s not taking me back! He won’t find me!” She was barreling up the stairs. “Far too late for that, Murah.” He boomed from the entryway. When did he come in? I didn’t hear the door. The Nauvree frowned. The bloody man is as quiet as Rhyers. The Nauvree glanced at the tall dark-haired man who seemed as startled as he was. He didn’t hear him e
King of the Seditious Confiding in Dimurah
THE NAUVREE Dimurah came down the stairs. Her hand clinging to Savage Jack’s as he walked behind her. Staring at the back of her head. Face unreadable as always. What happened? What is he thinking? Rhyers took in the sight of them and shook his head. “I will never understand romance.” He blinked in bafflement. “I don’t think that’s romance.” The Nauvree tossed a quick look over his shoulder back at the couple who soundlessly walked behind them. Their heads lowered as they were both lost in thought. Dimurah still leading Savage like a woman with a pup on a rope. What in Ardae? “I’ll go have some dinner prepared.” Rhyers walked away. “Can you take them to the Dining Hall, and I’ll have some refreshments sent in.” The Nauvree nodded. Butler for a day. He thought ruefully. The Nauvree waved over his shoulder and they followed demurely as he took them a couple room
King of the Seditious Traitorous Bastard
THE NAUVREE You’re a terrible liar! The Nauvree realized staring at the Forever Knight tracker in appall. Rhyers! Now when he needed his brethren’s support to extract him from the middle of this lover’s quarrel, Rhyers’ ingenious faculties failed? The Nauvree’s eyes narrowed on the other man. How can you be a spy and be that bad of a liar? Rhyers shrugged and waved his hands helplessly. Savage Jack finally withdrew his hand. He doesn’t want me to leave him alone with her. The Nauvree realized, feeling a quick pang of guilt for leaving a brother in need. The Nauvree tossed him a sympathetic glance before striding from the room in pace with Rhyers. “Why are you upset with me?” His tone was icy. What does he feel when she rants at him? The Nauvree wondered, not for the first time. “Because you never share anything with me! You know this is the divide bet
King of the Seditious Returning Home
Home. That was how Savage saw the Blue Lark anymore. Especially when she’s there. He looked across the carriage at the woman he’d so dearly missed for this long month. The longest we’ve ever been apart. She was sleeping. Her head lolling limply as the wheels turned through the rough terrain of Dread Country. She rested soundly. She’s exhausted. He felt the hint of guilt for being the reason she was so tired. Though he’d never admit to her, he knew how she worried about him when he was away. And how I worry for her. Knowing she was in the Guild surrounded by assassins should terrify him but at this point, it felt like the safest place she could be. Though that wasn’t what he’d thought a month ago. Though that was before they promised to help me. Redbayne and The Nauvree had both vowed that they’d conduct frequent checks at the Blue Lark
King of the Seditious A Fire Begins
The guard Queen Riaura had spoken to, re-entered the Nightway bailey and conferred with his Captain in low voices while the Queen peered out the window slit to watch the interchange. Explaining to his leader that the queen suspected the interloper was there to try to negotiate the release of the Nauvree, whom she was holding captive in a chamber on the third level. “What’s your name?” One of the King’s Guardsmen, backed by the Captain of the Guard approached the man. Demanding an answer. “Jaxson.” He grinned lazily. Riaura’s breath stilled, and she lurched out the window slit to scream into the bailey. “Kill him! Kill him now!” “He’s unarmed, Your Highness!” The Captain shouted back. Shock written over his face that she’d want an unarmed man slaughtered in their bailey. “He won’t be! I know who he is. Kill him!” She shrieked furiously in her panic. The man lifted his hands showing he held no weapon and tilted his head. Blue eyes pierci
King of the Seditious Ambushed
Making him yelp before he swung around the tree. The next two dropped, aiming their wings along their sides to drop like rockets. Before he could move from their path, they hit him from two different directions. Sending him careening from the trees. Spinning until his head aimed at the ground. He managed to tuck his head and land on his shoulders and back. Grunting at the impact. Snakes immediately sunk in venomous teeth. He grimaced against it. Feeling his gaze blur. He climbed to his feet shaking his head. “Fine beast ye are…” She cooed. Reaching to caress his chin. “If you’re intending to draw a blade on me, please do so…” He invited. Not seeing one anywhere on her at a glance. Blinking against his blurred vision. She outstretched her arms as she turned. “I ‘aven’t one on me.” She turned. Displaying her arms. As she turned a slow circle. “Hard ta ta’e a blade from an unarm woman, aye? Me know ye Code, Savage Jack.” She lisped. His gaze flit
King of the Seditious What a Valkyrie Knows
Savage woke slowly to a warm touch on his forehead. A cooling rag dabbing his face.Reflexively his grip snapped up to clutch the woman’s wrist.The woman hissed in response and for a moment he thought he felt the skin in his grip going rough. Turning brown?“Dimurah?” He asked.“Elsabet.” She corrected acidly.He blinked slowly. “Who are you?” He tried to lean up, but his weak neck wouldn’t obey his commands.“Currently, your nursemaid.”He released his grip on her. His hand falling.“When were you born?” She asked carefully. Hesitating with the rag as she awaited his answer.“1694.”Why is that relevant?“Why?”“Some things a woman just knows.” She said cryptically.“Huh.” He grunted.Days went by. With the strange woman caressing a cooling palm over his forehead. Washing and bandaging his wounds.He heard her shouting for more wraps for his wounds and RedBayn
King of the Seditious Yours
Some things a woman just knows. She’d spoke. Now he knew what she’d meant. Savage’s lips tightened. “My mother told me she had an affair. And he knew nothing of me.” “I did not!” Bast proclaimed. “All this time…King of the Blue Lark, and I’d no idea…” “You do now.” Savage shrugged. Unwilling to engage in some emotional moment. He turned and headed for the door. “I’ve a woman I must get back to.” Bast’s brows lifted in interest. “I’d like to get to know you, Boy.” “Start by knowing, no one calls me boy.” “Fair.” Bast straightened. Restraining himself from approaching. “I’m not an easy man to know.” “I wish to just the same…” “You know where to find me.” Savage shrugged. “How do I get there from here.” “This is a secret place.” “I keep secrets well.” Sebastian gave him a long study and was convinced no amount of torture would wrench something from this stubborn man’s lips if he wer
