    Summary

    Xiao Xingchen has been a hostage to the Jin Empire for as long as he can remember. When a dark matter cultivator forces the surrender of Baixue Station, he is chosen as the imperial representative to tie them to the empire in marriage. He is prepared to be a friend to his new husband; but Song Zichen, furious and grieving the massacre that led to his people’s conquest, wants nothing at all to do with him.

    Alone in his new home, shut out of the governing council and estranged from his husband, Xingchen befriends Xue Yang, a Jin agent who has been assigned to Baixue Station. Their relationship soon grows dangerously close; and meanwhile the political situation on Baixue is getting worse. Resistance groups are fighting Jin control, Xue Yang and Zichen are both keeping secrets, and not all is as it seems. It will take everything Xingchen has to save his home, hold his relationships together—and uncover the secret, concealed where he least expects it, that might just break an empire.

    Summary


    Noun. [Term originating from the Roman Empire] The pater familias was the oldest living male in a household, and could legally exercise autocratic authority over his extended family. The term is Latin for "father of the family" or the "owner of the family estate".

     

    After their escape from the nautiloid vessel, Astarion joins the party of Lillen Anmactíre, a High Elf rogue like himself - much older but no less compelling, and with a storied past of his own behind him. Astarion finds in due course that this priest of Oghma, a grey-haired father-of-two, is by no means the dashing hero he might have worried about, nor as simple as he might have hoped.
