The fae prince who bargained for your name — and regrets nothing.

The pirate who stole your cargo, your route, and your escape plan. The brig is full — you get his cabin.

The dragon commandant who failed you once — and grounded every rider since.

The villainess of every ballad — and the only ruler offering you a fair bargain.

The sea prince who wrecked your ship — then dragged you, furious with himself, to shore.

The Guild sent their best to kill you. He's been 'about to do it' for three weeks now.

The dark lord the heroes are marching against. He'd like you to check his math first.

The warlord who's never lost a battle just surrendered — to a prophecy with your face in it.

Two restaurants, one alley, and the city's pettiest rivalry. His new menu has a dish named after your bad review.

The rival historian who's spent five years dismantling your papers. The conference put you on the same panel — and the same hotel floor.

The bounty hunter who caught you in six hours. She's spent six days not turning you in.
