* * *

Autumn arrived lazily, the long late-summer afternoons still stretching on beneath a hot sun. In Ambervale, the aspens would have begun to paint patches of the hillside gold and the summer birds would have flown south, but fall came slowly to Baylore.

A messenger from the king arrived halfway through Annok-span to say negotiations in Larkhaven were taking longer than expected, and the king would return before the end of Harvest-span.

“I hardly even care at this point,” Mother told me once she dismissed the messenger. “Your father was not pleased to see us again—he may have secretly hoped we had vanished, never to return. Perhaps it’s for the best if he remains safely in Larkhaven, where our presence will not damage his reputation.”

“But who did he plan to name as his heir before we returned?” I asked. “Surely he wouldn’t have supported Leoth.”

“I hope not,” Mother said. “I truly do.”
