    Summary

    When Hans doesn't return to Pirkstein after a meeting with his uncle, Henry sets off into the snow and wind toward Rattay's upper castle to retrieve him. What he finds is a sour and maligned Sir Hans Capon. Ever the faithful servant and friend, Henry attempts to console his lordship and does his best to assuage his mood.

    Or, to spite his uncle, Hans breeds Henry on the table on which Hanush eats his meals.

    He looks at the boy, his boy, who watches him with blue eyes fringed with thick black lashes, his full lips curved in a sad smile. As though Hans’ thoughts are written, clear as day, on his face. When we leave, that smile says, things will be back to normal. To pain, and fear, and that crushing emptiness that nothing else in the world can fill. So drink up here, touch, kiss; take what you can in the time you have. Because we all know it won’t last.

    Hans Capon is a gay man trapped in a lavender marriage in London, 1793. He's out walking one night when he takes a wrong turning and stumbles across a young man who introduces him to something that feels like home: a space where men like him can be themselves, fully and without shame. Until the authorities are alerted, and everything comes crashing down around Hans' ears once more.

    So he does.

    Summary

    To welcome a guest it to receive a blessing. At least that's what the old wisdom claimed.

    Instead, Henry found himself boiling over with emotions he didn’t dare name when a handsome lord visited Rattay and took an immediate liking to Hans.

    Summary

    If he was ever forced to admit when he first started to think about Henry differently, he would be pretty embarrassed to say just how early it happened. When it was him and a tree, and a rope around them both.
