A trilogy of short stories from the worlds of 'Entreat Me' and the Master of Crows and Wraith Kings series. Strong Blood: Ballard de Sauveterre (from 'Entreat Me') crosses time to share a drink with Silhara of Neith (from Masters of Crows) and discovers a connection that spans generations. Crow Awakened: A short follow-up to 'The Brush of Black Wings' in which a terrified Silhara finally learns why his beloved wife Martise is fading before his eyes. A Matter of Trust: A cultural divide is resolved in the most delightful way between Brishen and Ildiko Khaskem. Takes place after 'Radiance' and before 'Eidolon'.
