"The Tale of Two Swords” originally released in To Weave a 
Web of Magic

Fleeing an unsavory betrothal on the back of her 
father's fleetest horse, Mehar of Angesand has a simple goal: to 
find the king's mage to help her decipher a book of spells she's 
sure will save her life. But when she arrives at the royal palace she 
finds it in ruins, the king's magician dead, and the one man there 
who can use her spells to be quite a bit more powerful-and important-than just 
a stable lad she thinks him to be.

“A Whisper of Spring” originally released in 
The Queen in Winter.

Symon of Neroche, freshly crowned and beginning his 
reign in his father's rustic hunting lodge, finds his life changing in an instant 
when a banished elf walks in, uninvited and unexpected, and demands Symon 
rescue his sister from the dark mage who kidnapped her. Symon agrees, 
imagining no one needs to know how long he's worshipped that woman from 
afar or what he's willing to gamble to save her life and win her heart.
