Book Three · The Hollow Crown

The Glass Dunes

The war was averted. The four-court compact has been redrawn. The empire that slept for eight hundred years has begun, slowly, to wake.

The Glass Dunes is the story of the spymaster who had not kissed anyone in eighteen years and the Ash-court general who left a coat in Heliathar he did not intend to wear again. When Theron's great-aunt's property reverts to him by formal title, Kestral goes with him. The year between the re-negotiation and the birth of Mira's first daughter is the year of being in a house with a person.

The third book of The Hollow Crown moves at the pace of a marriage being built, not a war being fought. Glass underfoot. Sun. Wind. What was once sand.

Letters from Vesserath

The year Mira spent learning to be queen, her sister was at Vesserath, growing up.

Wren wrote to her often — through the monthly rides south, through the bindings, through the working. Three of those letters survive.

They are not in this book or the next. They are a small thing on their own — fifteen years old in the first letter, sixteen by the last, the three-squeeze code closing each one a little differently.
