At least, until word from her fellow underqueens arrives requesting her presence at a conference to determine the future of the realm.

Back at the rebuilt tower, Damon contemplates the future and how to fix what’s been broken.

Every job has its skill set, including being an innkeeper. With the Blacksoul Band vanquished, Damon sets aside swinging his sword for a life of pouring ale and polishing tables. He and his family, under their new names, find peace and comfort within the Rosewood Inn. Unfortunately, trouble has a way of rearing itself up while everyone is settling down. Princess Kastet's former lady-in-waiting, Lilian, shows up at the inn with a message from a powerful ally. A message which not everyone is interested in hearing....

After watching Yvvestrosai burn, Damon is headed home with sore feet and a broken heart. There’s no avoiding what he must tell Malon and Vel. The weight of losing Ria, his partner, his wife, is inescapable. His travels are hard even setting aside his personal struggles. He’s a wanted man and a dangerous man, with his myrblade at the height of its power in the midst of winter. It’s a fact which others recognize, a fact which makes him valued as much as feared.

After fleeing Hearthold with a fugitive princess in tow, Damon Al-Kendras finally arrives home. He’s eager to see his Aesta and Ria once more after weeks of maintaining a careful, respectful balance between Vel and Kastet. But as it happens, coming home is just the start. A new enemy lurks in the shadows, one uniquely suited to the task of hunting and killing mages. When push comes to shove, what will Damon do to protect the women he loves?

After securing numerous treasures from within the depths of the kestian, Damon and his companions head to Avaricia intent on selling their rare finds. Unfortunately, the city of greed has its own plans for them. Damon quickly becomes caught up in a political struggle involving powerful women on opposite sides of a hidden war. What’s asked of him is something beyond what he can easily give, and he soon finds himself chafing against a world he left behind.

Hunkering down under the guise of a humble innkeeper, Damon Al-Kendras continues to live a relatively peaceful life alongside his family. The days pass in a routine mixture of simple chores—serving drinks, wiping down the bar, and, of course, feeding the beautiful blood-sucking monster hidden in the basement. Like so many things in life, change is inevitable. Damon struggles to juggle Lilian’s growing hunger, new taxes levied by the town, and the watchful eyes of a woman with way too much free time on her hands.

After saying goodbye to Bylia, Damon receives a new quest in the form of a vague missive from Princess Kastet. He and Vel are both summoned to meet with her, but Malon is wary of letting them travel together unsupervised. Damon reluctantly makes a promise to his aesta to keep his hands to himself, or at the least, to seek her out during sleep with the dreamspell amulet, instead of turning his lust toward Vel. It’s an arrangement which is quickly tested, as it soon becomes clear that the new journey may lead them far from home.

Back at the farmstead, Damon gets a chance to rest and recover from his recent adventures. With Vel teasing him more than ever, finding time to play outside of the range of Malon’s watchful gaze becomes a quest in itself. When Bylia arrives at the tower in search of a new muse, the farmstead’s lurid secrets are at risk of being thrust into the open by her songs. Damon does what he does best. He wines her, he dines her, and spirits her off on a trip away from his complicated home life.
