Sinopse

During the autumn of 1765 in London, Joshua Jones, a young working man of colour and aspiring artist, is grafting hard at his studies while earning his keep as a waiter in an exclusive St. James' gambling club managed by his uncle.


The only cloud on Joshua's horizon is the progress of his love affair with Frank Bartlett, an older man and unofficial diplomat who met and seduced Joshua the year before.


After an idyllic summer in Italy together, reality bites when they return to London, and Frank plunges into dealing with the disastrous political fallout from the proposed Stamp Act. Joshua understands his lover's preoccupation but worries he is being pushed aside as Frank becomes so involved in diplomatic wrangling that he risks injuring his health.


During tough times, Joshua is determined to stick with Frank. But will Frank take notice? And how can Joshua convince his true love that he is there for the long haul?

Rill is an extremely accomplished swordsman and Tavi a Master Wizard, so their duties for the crown and the Wizard's Tower take up much of their day. Eking out time to be together is therefore always a challenge, one they embrace wholeheartedly. Except, despite all their careful attempts, their plans somehow always get derailed.
    When they're sent out on a retrieval mission to obtain a mysterious artifact and then invited to a fancy dinner later that evening, they are forced to rearrange their plans yet again. They soon learn the artifact is not what it seems, and neither is the dinner, and dealing with the ensuing problems must come first.
