    Summary

    In a tapestry woven by fate, the cutting of a single string can unravel it all, leaving twisted threads to hopelessly tangle into each other.

    In another life, Aloy and Kotallo find themselves in an arranged marriage meant for the peace of their two tribes, and all of the chaos that comes from that.
    -
    An offshoot of Tapestry of Grief, but the other books aren't really necessary to understand this one.

    Summary

    Aloy and politics don't mix, but try telling that to the Carja.

    When a group of Sun-Court nobles want the Savior to marry the Sun-King, Blameless Marad comes up with a brilliant plan to avert a diplomatic crisis—unfortunately, that brilliant plan involves Aloy marrying a certain Tenakth Marshal instead.

    Why does no one ever think to consult Aloy about these things?

    Summary

    Kotallo is hurting, inside and out, when he is sent by his chief to Stone Crest on escort duty for a futile mission. He's heard rumours about the Champion back at the Grove - how she saved the city of Meridian before venturing West and defeating Regalla's champion in single combat, so he expects a larger-than-life brute of a warrior. Instead he finds a woman who is curious, fierce, compassionate, more anvil-headed than any Oseram, and, to his surprise, beautiful.

    Just another 'Kotallo and Aloy fall in love within the frame of the game' story, told through the eyes of a man who thinks he has little left to live for, and a woman who faces an impossible task alone. Except that she's not alone at all.

    Summary

    “Your messenger that intercepted us yesterday could've been spared the errand to track us down.”

    The Chief’s relaxed mood drops instantly. Aloy’s next words stick in her mouth as the sharp shift in energy turns her blood to ice.

    “I sent no runners for Kotallo. Is he not with your squad?”

    Her hand is already fumbling at her ear, fervently stacking hope against the dread building in her gut.

    "Champion," Hekarro rises, gaze hardening. "Where is my Marshal?"

    Kotallo wakes in a dangerous place, but he isn't alone. Aloy and Hekarro race to recover their boy.
