This story picks up after King's cage. *Spoilers ahead, stop reading now.* Mare and Cal have split, and the Gaurd works diligently to end the Regime of the Boy King Maven. What happens when Mare confronts him a final time? This story contains strong language, violence, and sexual content. Some of the themes are not suitable for all readers. Tread carefully, my darlings.

Maven's obsession with Mare reaches new heights now that she's finally his. So busy making sure she loses herself to him, he fails to realize he's already lost himself in her. A series of one-shots set after Glass Sword. Rated M.

Mare & Cal meet in the local tavern, when a desperate Mare foolishly reaches into the pockets of none other than the Crown Prince. Cal maintains the facade of a Red servant to fit in with the Red girl with a big chip on her shoulder and an even bigger secret. A war begins erupting around them, forcing everyone's dark deceptions into the painful light.
