It was all a mummer's farce, a dance of peacocks pretending to be dragons, and he was the prize stallion being paraded in the center of the ring.

He wrenched his gauntlets off, tossing them onto the wooden table inside his pavilion with a clatter that startled his squire. Sweat slicked Maekar's hair to his forehead, pale strands sticking to skin flushed with the exertion of the tilt and the simmering heat of his own temper. He had unhorsed three men today. Three knights of summer who had fallen into the dust with a satisfying crash, and yet,
