Grisaille: The Complete Stories of Corvo and Ardán
Originally published by Torquere Press as four separate, stand-alone stories ("Grisaille in Sand and Sunset", "Pentimento: Poppy", "Grisaille in Stone and Sky", and "Nocturne in Silver and Gold"), the complete adventures of Corvo and Ardán are now available together in this omnibus edition.
In "Grisaille in Sand and Sunset", Corvo and Ardán meet as the result of desperate diplomatic necessity. Each is a hostage to fortune, though Corvo is ostensibly a diplomat and Ardán is formally a slave. Corvo struggles with his attraction to Ardán -- Ardán, very much a product of his upbringing, misunderstands the warrior aspects of Corvo's culture, believing it to be similar to his own and believing himself a slave, despite Corvo's insistence that he is not; in such circumstances, Corvo feels that giving voice to his interest would be coercive and immoral.
Corvo and Ardán must overcome this, and many more obstacles in their path, if they are to build a new life together...
