one woman and three non-human men in a · Vaudrec
The Green Cord
In the hall, three formidable men stand when she enters. Behind a closed door, not one of them intends to obey her.
Justice Marsali Garvie has ridden up to Hightarn to answer one question: who is the heir of the founder's line? Three claimants of the House of Veyle want the answer to be them — Aurek, heir by blood; Dallan, sworn son by oath; Corlath, son of the house by treaty. They are rivals who refuse to share a room. They are also the three men she cannot stop wanting.
The assize must sit, there is no other judge, and within a week each of them has shown her, privately and thoroughly, that the deference ends at her door. Then she reads the founder's instrument to its last clause — and finds it could disinherit all three.
Now the rivals are allies, the crown's escheator is on the road, and the only way to save her office and her honour is to rule openly, on the record, with everyone watching.
An explicit why-choose romantasy novella of rank, rivalry and court rite. Standalone, with a happy ever after.
