Summary
Side by side, master and protégé observe the blue waves crashing endlessly against Waloed's steep, rugged cliffs, lined by vines and flowers emerging from their dark cracks.
"She's beautiful," Clive says. "Your country. Why would you not want to cultivate Her?"
He sees his father's throat bulge with a swallow, as he looks upon the violent waters bordering his lands.
"I was waiting for something."

Summary
In the wake of Phoenix Gate, Clive fights to keep his brother's throne. For Joshua, it's a trial of loss he cannot keep from repeating. But he will find a way.
“I know,” Joshua repeats, as Clive’s fingers settle deeper in his hair, carding out the apology he can’t make. “I know you have to go. If we lose Rosalith, we lose—” Rosaria, he means to say, but Clive interrupts him.
“—I lose you. There isn’t a place I could send you on Storm safer than this city.” He smiles. “Allow me to do my duty, lord marquess.” The title sounds funny on his lips.
Joshua rises and sorts himself. “I can order you to stay.” He won’t, and he wouldn’t.
Clive’s smile tugs to one side. “You can try.”

Summary
“Your number,” Barnabas said. He turned toward the board with fluid ease and fixed himself in a perfect stance, his wrist and fingers exact as they launched the dart in a vicious line aimed spectacularly on-target. “So I can trounce you at darts again sometime.”
Sparks flashed in Clive’s too-blue eyes, like the embers of a fire kindling to life. The urge to wrap fingers in his unruly hair and shove him against the wall nearly blindsided Barnabas; he dug his nails deep into his palm instead, almost hard enough to break skin.
“You’re on,” Clive said with the sort of confidence he could only have without knowing what he was up against.In a modern era where Eikons, Dominants, and magic are little more than fairytale drivel, Barnabas finds himself listlessly wading through a successful yet dull existence until a chance encounter pulls him into Clive Rosfield's turbulent, hopelessly charming orbit.
