A SPRING HOMECOMING
When he attended their wedding in summer, Lisinthir Lauvet Imthereli, Third of the Chatcaavan Empire, promised his cousins they would see him in spring for the birth of his heirs on Eldritch soil, and to attend the birth of theirs. He returns to a world and a people reviving from their long winter: a new navy; the rescue of their suffering acreage; and the burgeoning of a tenant culture revolving around the new communications and travel networks.
But a prince and a culture aren't the only things making their return. When a mistake made in the summer season comes back to haunt them, Lisinthir will discover himself torn between warring allegiances... and someone else will have to pay the price. Will their enemies succeed in blighting the promise of the season?

And that's important. (...) And when I had normal telepathy, ariishir, the kind Glaseah are mostly born with, I thought of touch as an extension of voice, because touching someone meant I could communicate...
- "Now, though... now I can talk to people it orbit, or farther and if feels as normal as using my voice... but they're not here. (...)Jahir could be on the other side of the galaxy and I'd know that he was alive. And that's... how I feel about the Goddess." He shrugged helplessly. "I know She's there, in the same way that I know Jahir's alive, even when he is not around. (...) [1].
