    Summary

    A sort of alternate-history take where Varenechibel did let himself get talked into bringing Maia to live at the Court after his mother died - but Maia (now 18) still ends up in an arranged marriage to Csethiro, because of, you know, Plot Reasons. In his final year of studying at the university in Cetho, with a quiet life and a nice house in the city, the youngest archduke finds himself unexpectedly saddled with a friendly but emotionally distant bride who wants to join him at university. Navigating hopes, expectations, studies, friendships, and the danger of resentment, the two maintain a polite partnership while they figure out who the other is, what their developing feelings are, and what the marriage could be. Csethiro POV.

    --

    (Throughout the ceremony, Maia was only ever respectful and considerate towards her. But there was a sadness in his eyes that hurt to look at, and it tinged everything about him. His posture was perfect; it should not have looked as if his spine had a disc missing somewhere. The tiredness in his face and the bags under his eyes might have just been from finishing a term at university; the impression of defeat he radiated might not have been.)
    (Csethiro did not like it. At all.)

    Summary

    Thara Celehar has lost his ability to speak to the dead. Awaiting instructions from the Archprelate, he is left feeling adrift and inadequate as an instructor to his student, Velhiro Tomasaran. When Iäna Pel-Thenhior comes to him with a problem that is not within his remit, he still jumps at a task he feels capable of. But when that task leads back to the story of a missing girl and a body found with her ring, it's clear he still has responsibilities to the dead of Amalo, even if he can no longer hear them.
