butters
After five years of captivity, Ailis Edevane is finally free. Freedom, she discovers, is expensive, inconvenient, and does not come with instructions. It does, however, come with General Aodren Caereth: royal Draevyr, professional conqueror, and the most beautiful problem she has ever had.
She thanks him with an embroidered favor. He keeps it. Then he keeps returning.
Ailis has read enough romances to hope this is courtship and enough common sense to insist it probably is not. She falls in love anyway. Common sense had a respectable run.
