    Summary

    The Boston Bears group chat had sixty-three new messages in the span of three minutes.

    His coffee forgotten, Ilya swiped open the chat, scrolling quickly to find the source of the commotion. A link to The Athletic, posted by Jensen, their captain, followed by a string of exclamation points. Ilya tapped it, the headline materializing on his screen like a blow to the chest:

    BREAKING: MONTREAL VOYAGEURS’ SECOND DRAFT SHANE HOLLANDER ANNOUNCES RETIREMENT

    Ilya's pulse jumped, hard and sudden in his throat. The mug slipped from his hand, not falling but landing too heavily on the counter, coffee slopping over the rim. He set it down properly, his movements mechanical, and forced himself to read the rest of the headline:

    20-YEAR-OLD ROOKIE OF THE YEAR STEPPING AWAY TO PURSUE HARVARD BUSINESS DEGREE

    Or

    Shane Hollander has spent his entire life living and breathing hockey. At twenty, at the height of his career, he makes an unthinkable choice: he walks away to discover who he is beyond the ice.

    But some things don’t stay behind.

    What happens when the rivalry between him and Rozanov ends, but the pull doesn’t?

    Summary

    Hidden in the Illyrian mountains, Sylien has spent her life becoming someone else: a lesser fae apothecary with a false face, a false name, and remedies too brilliant to remain unnoticed forever. Born wingless to a powerful Illyrian commander and a High Fae mother whose elemental bloodline should have died with her, Sylien knows exactly what the world does to things it does not understand.

    A secret apothecary.
    A wingless Illyrian daughter.
    A hidden elemental bloodline.
    A High Lady who needs a miracle.

    Azriel was sent to retrieve a healer.

    He did not expect to find a secret.

    He did not expect the bond to snap.

    And he certainly did not expect her to be the kind of female who looks death in the face, calls it medically inconvenient, and keeps walking anyway.

    Summary

    “I’m not sure of the exact reasons Montreal has, but the League needs a distraction from the bad press.” Laurenti’s face twists with disapproval. “Crowell’s known to be friendly with the Morin family, they own the Metros. Crowell must have asked for a favor and who knows what he’s promised them in return. Who better to distract from a scandal than Canada’s favorite son?”

    The realization hits Ilya like a punch to the solar plexus.

    “They’re trading Shane fucking Hollander?” Reilly questions with utter disbelief. It takes a half second more before he follows the question with another. “We’re signing him?”

    -

    News that Dallas Kent, up and coming star center for the Toronto Guardians, is wanted for murder breaks during the Sochi Olympics.

    Neither Shane nor Ilya have any idea that it will change their lives.
