This week in the saga
A hawk joins the court: a new war-adviser is named to begin on the ninth of April — the very day, though no one yet knows it, the raid will come.

An old rival threatens him with fists and the king answers in kind — he is weak, he would go down fast and hard. He calls a strongman in the East to offer congratulations and shrugs off the outrage: getting along is a good thing. Then, Sunday night, a film actress tells her story to sixty million on live television, and the fixer's quiet winter payment finally has a face — and a clock he cannot see has started to run.
