Swordplay, scandal, and sex—welcome to the world of Tremontaine, a glittering new entry in Ellen Kushner's classic Riverside series. This is the 5th episode in the second season of Tremontaine, a 13-episode serial from Serial Box Publishing. This episode written by Alaya Dawn Johnson. Diane hosts a spectacle as she campaigns to be named duchess in her own right, forcing Vincent to confront his past. Kaab and Rafe exchange notes on the thefts plaguing both their families. Rafe tries his own hand at spycraft in his attempt to find Will. Domestic strife with Tess causes Kaab to consider—and reconsider—who, what, and where she considers home. Welcome to Tremontaine, where ambition, love affairs, and rivalries dance with deadly results. A Duchess whose beauty is matched only by her cunning; a handsome young scholar with more passion than sense; a foreigner in a playground of swordplay and secrets; and a mathematical genius whose discoveries herald revolution when games of politics begin, no one is safe. Keep your wit as sharp as your steel in this world where politics is everything, and outcasts are the tastemakers.
