Summary
Someone comes to visit from… somewhere… in order to… do something…
Okay, I can write a blurb that’s less vague but sounds totally unhinged without context, or I can tag this “ATFOTS spoilers,” but doing both IS a spoiler, so I’m choosing to use the spoiler tag for filtering purposes.
For now, the summary is in the beginning note; if you’ve read ATFOTS the tags will give you a good idea of what to expect.
Mostly humor sprinkled with a little bit of angst, like salt on a caramel brownie.

The vagaries of wild magic send Fitzroy, Pali, Jullanar and Aurelia to an old red house on their way back to the seat of Zunidh. The Grand Duchess of Damara feels a pull to her seat, that tastes unlike the schooled magic that would have onced pulled her there before.

Summary
“Hello, hello, hello!” said his Radiancy’s serval. She said it, in words, in Shaian, in a pleasant voice that came from her little snout quite naturally. “Good morning!”
“Good…morning…?” said Cliopher, too shocked to control his voice. His mongoose got out of his bag and scrambled up onto his shoulder with an excited little squeak, her claws prickling through the tunic.
“I have good news and bad news!” the serval continued happily. “Don’t you want to know what it is?”
Cliopher could only stare.
“Good news, I’ve figured out how to talk!” She lashed her tail excitedly, and finished with her voice full of enormous glee, “Bad news… I’ve figured out how to talk.”The entire city of Solaara wakes up one day attached to magical animals that display each person’s innermost self with no regard for court protocol or even basic manners. It’s pure chaos… and that’s before the Emperor accidentally gives the soul-animals the power of speech.

Summary
“I had never been given choice: it had never even been mentioned as a possibility. It had literally never occurred to me that I could say no. If he had ordered, I could not have said no. I was a loyal daughter of the Empire. I knew my duty and would fulfil it. And there was my brother—at that time we still did not know his name—less than a week in Astandalas, not yet crowned, asking me if I wanted to be his Consort.”
—The Hands of the Emperor, Chapter Forty-TwoAlternate Universe - Canon Divergence:
It could have been worse. They could have done their duty.
