Summary
“I’m so glad you’re here, Nicaise. When I arrived at Arles and–”
“How long is he going to be here?” Nicaise cut him off. He’d rather throw himself off a cliff than hear more of Laurent’s lies.
Laurent’s eyebrows furrowed. “Who?”
“The Akielon.”
“As long as I want him.”
“Which is?”
“Forever, I think.”Nicaise survives, but things don't get easier. Plagued by his memories, he has Laurent to take care of him and he should be happy, but Damen's shadow lingers over him, ready to steal the only person he loves. Nicaise must act quickly if he wants to break them apart.

Summary
When Damen marries Laurent, it is not a question of love. It is mere obligation that has brought them together, in attempt to finally bring peace to their respective kingdoms. But as war breaks out on their first day of marriage, Damen has no choice but to leave Laurent behind.
Ten months later, he returns to Ios as a father of a princess he has yet to meet, and to a wife that is still a stranger to him.

Summary
Laurent is a ragdoll, pulled down into the dark at improbable speed. The lift it makes in his stomach is odd, like the giddy drop on a rollercoaster. A moment of elation, perhaps, before he dies.
He breaks the surface.
His gasping mouth now pulls in air, his feet firmly on the rock bottom of the spring and legs holding him up unshakably. Water streams from his head, down his body, as though a bucket had been dumped over his head. He reaches up to push his sopping hair from his eyes.
“Naiad,” a voice says.
Laurent stills. Psychological collapse should be allowed, by the universe, to be a solitary affair, especially when it happens in a state of complete undress. It’s unfair on a cosmic level that Laurent should be happened upon by a stranger in his current condition.
---
On holiday with his brother in Ios, Laurent bathes in a hot spring. Unfortunately, he drowns. Even more unfortunately, when he surfaces somehow, he finds himself thrust back in time. Dropped into the middle of a mythologised ancient war for the Akielon throne, he is determined to get back to the modern day - even after ending up kidnapped (or perhaps rescued) by the rightful King, Damianos.

Summary
“Hello, husband. Why are you naked?”
Damen draws in a ragged breath seemingly more from emotion than physiological need, and Laurent notices the exact moment that his eyes focus on Laurent and he is able to take in the world before him.
“Laurent,” he says, a little raspy, eyes still wide, “how did you do that three—four times? I have never felt so—The lack of control. It felt like drowning. How were you sure you didn’t drown?” He stumbles to the edge of the spring as he speaks, driven by a clear impetus: dropping to his knees next to Laurent and pulling him in for a reassuring hug. Laurent pushes him away before he can make contact, standing and lifting the towel from the pile he has made.
“You’re all wet, and I’d prefer not to be. Dry yourself and get dressed, and then you may lay your hands on me.”
---
After the events of even in another time, Laurent and Damen take the opportunity to go on a trip—a honeymoon of sorts—to the modern world. Brothers are met, books are launched, and another first is experienced.

Summary
Laurent had come to Marlas a bright and innocent youth caught up in his brother's excitement, in the romance of battle and the righteousness of their cause. He left the battlefield alone, a stranger to himself, ready to be reshaped into a creature of someone else's design. Time and trauma cut him farther from himself, from the ability to do anything but play the losing game he found himself caught up in.
This is an attempt to examine the first novel from Laurent's POV.
