    Summary

    “Is it truly so wicked, to want as we do?”

    When she'd arrived at court, Alyssa Flowers had not thought to catch the eye of a prince. Let alone two.
    But love and desire are rarely sensible.

    Summary

    Ellie slips the photo out of the back of her phone, it’s folded and creased between her mother’s seventeen-year-old face and the boy beside her. They’re both looking into the camera, both grinning, both a bit blurred by the glow of streetlights behind them. A snapshot in time, a freeze-frame moment from seventeen years ago… she’s been staring at it so long that her mother and the boy blur together until Ellie finds herself in the smear of it. (His smile, the dimples that sit in the edges of a sharp-toothed grin. Her mother’s hair, the curve of her cheek and nose.)

    The train lurches as it slows and Ellie tucks the photo into the back of her phone again with unsteady fingers as she pushes to her feet. Some of the other people in the car do the same. It’s late enough that she’s aware she doesn’t quite blend in, too young looking in sneakers and leggings and one of her school sweaters, but she’s got pepper spray hanging from a keyring jangling around her wrist and she’s too nervous about meeting him to worry about anything else.

    The paper crinkles in her hands and she looks down at it again, just as the subway doors open on a rush of warm, stale air. His name, in blue ink.

    Summary

    She’s five when she learns what father means.

    She also learns that she just doesn’t have one.

    (Years later, these will be Lyra’s earliest memories; an unknown word, wrapped around her heart like a fist; a God with no name, no face. A prayer on her tongue at night, her wish upon a star, her birthday candles. Either a knight in shining armour or a dragon lord who whisks her away to his stone castle on his dragon.

    Years later, she’ll laugh at her accuracy and then cry.)

    Summary

    The incident in the tent between Tanselle and Aerion goes differently. Prince Baelor sees to it that the perpetrator—his own niece and Aerion's twin—is properly punished for her misdeeds.

    “Your kin will forever be your kin even in death. To be a kinslayer is the greatest sin one could commit in the eyes of the gods. Aerion is your brother—and the septon says we must love our brothers.”

    Summary

    — Nobles from every land seek your hand; all the young men come to vie for your favour. Choose one of them as your husband, O Myrrha; though one particular man must not be among them! She herself realises this and rejects that impure love: “Where are my thoughts leading me? What am I plotting? O gods, O filial piety and sacred bonds of parents and children, avert this terrible evil, prevent this monstrosity, stop this iniquity I wish to commit! ... If indeed it is an iniquity. I wonder, for daughterly duty cannot condemn this love.”

     

    Hatred for one’s father is a crime.

                      Myrrha’s love for her father

                      Was a crime infinitely worse.
