[Book two of the Keep series- originally published on Kindle Vella.]Wil already had one wife, and when he walked away from a life the gods never meant for him, he carried a lot of regret... as well as a grim determination not to repeat the mistakes of his past. He doesn't need a woman, especially when he's got Bayn; but once Bayn made rites to Lila, Wil's fate was sealed, even before she asked him to marry her.

Ren's story.

In which Lila marries Bear.

Hold your draw. Eyan is used to looking after himself; being an archer is challenging in more ways than one. Lila has waited so bloody long for Eyan. Ren would do anything to keep his brothers, but there isn't anything he can do to keep winter from catching them early. Bear has been keeping other bodies all his life; it might be time to start thinking about himself. Book Five concludes the Keep Series; contains dark themes and mature content.
