In Their Pleasant Palaces

Princess Luantishee wanted only to find the Kalduun crossroads but the people of the little village had other ideas. They wanted her to slay their dragon. But the dragon was no longer a threat, having grown old and weary. So why was she there? The village burgher's evil plans made a pawn of her and that would never do for the Silver Princess of Sadavol, bearer of the magical sword Ensate! Also includes "Unfinished Portrait". Both stories can be found in Dragontongue & Other Stories.
