Story for the Day: The Journal
The Journal The morning of the Frewyn holiday, the commander awoke from a short sleep to find a small parcel laid at the foot of the commons door. As the package was unopened and in excellent condition, she could be under no mistake as to the Herald being with his family for the day; it must have been conveyed to their door by one of the yeoman, or perhaps by Martje out of a sense of charity of the day. As kitchen master, Martje must be awake at all hours of the morning, and a...

Part 2
Night soon came to the capital. The din of the marketplace continued in a subdued murmur, the song and raillery from the taverns became more pervasive, the dulcet scents of hardy suppers wafted from the open windows of houses, and the reporter was rapt in deliberation as to whether he should brave the horrors and joviality of a Frewyn inn or sleep within the auspices of the Church, preying upon their hospitality for a clean bed, warm food and protection from the...

A Piece of Lucentia
Ladrei, Arkastino and Nidello Maccadrin are Lucentia's mafia heads. Here is a little bit from one of their episodes:
They hurried through the quieted marketplace toward the evening bustle of the café district. The clinking of teacups, the buzz of café raillery, and the civil thanks of proprietors furnished their search for the correct address. Janir's home was in a part of the lively district that Ladrei had not visited in some time; it was rather far from his father's establishment: a quiet ...

Commander and Den Asaan VOL 2 Preview
Enjoyed Vol 1? Here is an peek at Vol 2 of The Commander and the Den Asaan Rautu:
Ghelbhi made a few shy and silent laughs. For an instant, she was caught by his brilliant smile and handsome features. She permitted herself to admire him, rapt under the gaze from the greenest eyes, and had not realized the growing warmth of her face or the darkening hue of her skin. She only began to acknowledge her unchecked regard when Alasdair's eyes sparkled with sudden wonderment. She had wondered what...

Story of the Day: The Washing of Feet
The Washing of Feet
As Lamir was either taking his small meal of fig leaves and tea at this time or delighting in Hinnia's perfection, Ladrei thought it advisable to enter first and announce their call. He did show a presentiment for interrupting his highness during the more comforting portion of the evening, and while he was used to see Lamir in rapturous bliss- as much as his austere character could express- Ladrei had held some remorse for the disturbance, though Hinnia was ordered...

Story of the Day: Lochan's Home
An excerpt from one of the later books.
Although the house belonged to Lochan and he knew well that he could do as he wished, there were regulations made in the Donnegal home that he had kept since his removal to Farriage: no animals at the table, washing behind one's ears after bathing, and wearing thick boots in the snow and rain were a mere few of the household rules their mother impressed upon them, and though Mrs Donnegal was not present, there was ever a compunction to ...
