      Chapter One

      The grand dining hall in the palace of the kingdom of Insontia was packed with the nobility and honored guests who had stayed on after the Princess’s wedding the night before. The table was overflowing with a sumptuous breakfast feast, and Gula had happily piled his plate up. He was seated only a handful of places down from King Adriel, and that left him with access to some of the finest delicacies the entire lands of Cormundie had to offer.

      Last night, Gula’s best friend Maxon had married Princess Lily, and this was meant to be the grand banquet to see them off before they left on their honeymoon. But in the middle of the meal, one of the guests had asked for their help in her seaport kingdom, and the new Prince and his bride had rushed off to give her aid.

      That left the remaining guests in a somewhat awkward position. The celebration had been put on hold with the absence of the newlyweds – even if it was a temporary one – and an uncomfortable silence had fallen over the hall.

      When the door opened, everyone looked up expectantly, some even rising to their feet on the presumption that it would be Lily or Maxon, but instead, it was a surprising member of Gula’s brethren, Avaritia.

      Everyone moved into motion then, returning to their earlier revelry and consumption. Across from Gula, a viscount had left early, and Ava took the empty seat. On either side of Gula were Wick (the Princess’s witchy godmother) and Aeterna (an irin friend with a pair of feathered wings).

      As Ava settled in, he cast an uneasy gaze around at the other guests, and it grew into a glower when his eyes lingered on Aeterna.

      I didn’t expect to be seeing you again, Wick told Ava, matching his disapproving glare with one of her own.

      "And I didn’t expect to be here again, Ava admitted with a wry smile. But the Fabula Inn had nothing in the
