“The Courtship” is a 15,000 word story set in the Spiritwalker universe, told from the point of view of Andevai Diarisso Haranwy.

Set twelve days after the end of Cold Steel, it is a complete and self-contained story but does contain multiple massive spoilers if you haven’t read the trilogy (just fair warning if you care about spoilers).

“The Courtship” together with “The Secret Journal of Beatrice Hassi Barahal” function as a kind of coda to the Spiritwalker trilogy.  (Here’s a post I wrote about “The Secret Journal” at Book Smugglers. You can buy a print or pdf version of “The Secret Journal of Beatrice Hassi Barahal” INFO COMING ASAP)

Also: The story contains explicit sexual material. Just so you know.
