Summary
“It’s not too late, you know,” said the Son of Laughter, his eyes half-closed as if sleepy. He wasn’t looking at Kip anymore, but off into the distance, as if he’d lost interest. “Not too late to turn it around and salvage something from the wreck you left in your wake.”
***

Summary
Once long ago, but not so long ago as it may seem, there was a shire of tall peaks and tors and the occasional moor. This is not to say these were the most towering peaks in the round of the world. Not even the proudest resident of this shire would have claimed that.
Certainly, the residents of Ponsonby Place would not have. However, the residents of Ponsonby Place were thought to be the most fortunate by their neighbors for a wealthy uncle had died and left the family a sum of money.
Strange fortune if so. To celebrate the passing of a loved one, but so was the way of the world. So too was the way of ghosts and the spirits that linger behind.

Summary
The Last Emperor of Astandalas asked for peace. Cliopher Mdang travelled half way round the world of Zunidh to broker a ceasefire for him.
He may have, just slightly, exceeded his remit.
(All fics in this series build out from events in Embers - and therefore spoil it - but I've tried to keep them viable as stand-alones too.)
