    About this ebook

    Playing the hand you are dealt is something everyone has to learn. It doesn't matter if you're a sorceress or a schoolgirl, a princess or even a king. You might have a magic ring or be the queen, but none of this means your choices will be easy when it comes to marriage, love, or war.

     

    In this short story collection, you will see how 6 different characters figure out how to lead, follow suit, or fold.

     

    Also, enjoy a preview of Old Habits Die Hard, Book 5 in the Reign of the Eagle series, and a never-before-seen floorplan of the Prince's Palace in Rawdon, one of the vital locations in the Myrcia novels.

    J.S. Mawdsley

    We’re a husband and wife novel writing team and have been since about a month after our marriage in 2007. He’s a teacher of education law. She’s a Librarian. Being able to write together so happily once made a friend remark that we are as mythical as unicorns. J.S. Mawdsley live in Ohio, where they share their house with half a dozen dying houseplants, and their yard with a neighborhood cat named Eugene, a mother deer and her fawn, affectionately known as the Countess and Cherubino, and a couple of blue jays, Henry and Eleanor.
