LIAR, LIONESS

Synopsis

Who serves a servant?

THE LAST GLASSWING KNIGHT, Sir Sengreen Le (they/them), is crestfallen and confused and a little bit furious that their lifelong master has abandoned them for no reason, ending their service together. Now, Sengreen has to contend with a new Moon Emperor who calls herself THE EMPYREAN MONARCH, Lin Xue (he/she). This stranger from a strange land is Lunarian, like Sengreen, but not in any way that Sengreen can understand. As if it weren't enough to navigate the shifting seas of palace politics in the Crescent Court, Sengreen has to stand their ground against Lin Xue, who says she wishes to be their friend.

She doesn't, of course.

All the same, Sengreen ends up entangled in the kingmaking game of Divinities with Lin Xue, which is not so different from the power plays of intimacy they level against each other, as uncomfortable as it is to acknowledge.

Sengreen, if nothing else, intends to win.

What a shame Lin Xue thinks he'll do the same.
