A SEASON OF FLOWERS, A SEASON OF BLOOD

When the sacrifices of a princess and an alien turn the first attack into a victory for Lisinthir and his allies, their enemies resort to a new threat to disarm them. But they're not the only ones mobilizing in response to a transformative sacrifice: everywhere, the discontent of their culture's discards is reaching the boiling point. As the princess and her family prepare for the birth of their heirs, all fate is building toward a final confrontation.

The Empress promised them ten years of peace. Will they see the promise of the fallowtide fulfilled? And what will be the outcome of this final chapter in the saga of the Chatcaavan War?

Quotes

[of the Faulfenza:] "And such an odd interest. Not like the Pelted, who are everywhere, trying to fix things. They're nearly the opposite of everywhere; they dont even seem to notice our political convulsions. It's almost like ... they're waiting. For us to come to some conclusion." --Sediryl
"I dare not wonder what to expect from the collision of divine Eldritch gifts and Faulfenzair destinies." -- Jahir
(quote and summary) Her world was changing, and the changes were inexorable, and she understood them not at all. An alien had wanted to help, and thought that helping involved changing Eldritch custom for time out of mine and it did help--but it helped the Empress and her princess, who wanted... this... for their people. This which had saved the life of Lord Tolden. Who would have died. This, which had allowed them to usher out a precedent that people of compassion knew was wrongful, and abhorred. This, which had freed a Solanth Catha Galare, and made everything an Evelis Lona Mathanith strove fore feel petty. ^[1]
