Chapter One: Richard, Richard
Valerian purposefully looked away as his grandparents left his courtyard. There was nothing to say and even if there was, he didn’t trust himself to say it. A glance over at the patriarch caught the pleased smile still on the man’s face. Not wanting to lo...

Valerian spun around to face her in shock. That couldn’t be right. His grandmother’s family were plains folk who bred and sold horses. While quite wealthy and well known among the plains tribes, they weren’t some secret ancient clan.

Valerian stared at the laughing Vorm, unsure what the merriment was about. Was it because of the name of the school or did it have a certain ‘reputation’? he considered it carefully. ‘Strapping’s’. He’d never heard of it. However, Richa...
