  1. Serene can be used as a form of official address for some titled persons, as in His or Her Serene Highness or Majesty. This comes from one of its lesser meanings, august.
  2. Scarlet reminds me of Lavinia in the Shirley Temple film, The Little Princess. She's spoiled and vain with a cruel streak. She may be bewitched, but the nasty was always there. Lachlan can blame Rory and Cian all he wants, but his destiny was to be a cruel and failed power hungry tyrant.
  3. He is in shock. So much has happened so quickly, he can't process it all. He has witnessed violent death and waves of sheer terror. What is so intriguing about him to persuade this cruel captain to spare him not once, but twice now? His own desire to be used is ill hidden. Oh my, this will be a rough ride ahead as the captain's plaything.
  4. We haven't heard the sickly plop of Scarlet's hitting the floor yet, preferably before a large crowd. What a witch@
  5. Well, he's old, but not that old.
  6. How Desmond knows so much is unnatural. Lachlan is so stupid, blinded by his own greed. He would lead his people to ruin and rule only a kingdom of ash.
  7. We have far too many reticent members at GA.
  8. Name five of your 'things.'
  9. GOT I can understand, but NO Star Wars?

    Chapter Twelve

    I hope you realize the hat only works if you have short legs.
  11. I hope it's a good lawyer.
  12. Well, I was only expecting a shade of color, but it might be one of those psychodelic affairs.
  13. Well, at least he let them finish.
  14. And confused is the shade of?
  15. Kieran spoke t he words we've all been waiting for at last. I'd say Kieran and Rory could have effortlessly incinerated Lachlan and his guards to ash, but what value is a throne awash in blood? Lachlan's goal is clear. He never intends to give up the throne and he will kill Kieran, or he'll try.
  16. It's all in the pronunciation. It's sol-ace, not so-lace.
  17. Rejuvenation is an appealing idea. Spring is all about restoration and rejuvenation. As an aside, there are 222 songs with rejuvenation in the lyrics. https://www.lyrics.com/lyrics/rejuvenation

    Chapter Twelve

    "we'll be totally free." It makes me think of the line from Me and Bobby McGee, "Freedom is just another word for nothin' left to lose."

    Chapter Twelve

    Lachlan is much worse than we imagined. He is truly evil. The death curse looks better all the time. Waiting to leave is a tremendous risk and the journey they face will be incredibly perilous.
  20. "I'm sorry Dave, I'm afraid I can't do that."
  21. According to his editor, some sizable chunks have been sent to him for editing. Still, I expect it'll be awhile before we see anything.
  22. To fully appreciate the nature of labyrinthine, one must read the works of Jorge Luis Borges.
  23. I have a taste for the ornate which I try to subdue.

    Chapter Eleven

    Desmond was altered by the magic lake, not the vicount. We saw him enthrall Scarlet, but it was a short walk to her bad side. I'd say Desmond is possessed by an evil entity. This entity might be the vicount'a boss too.
  25. Fated mate or not, there are no absolute guarantees Ryder will end up with Pembroke.
