Sailor orchestrates court -- Fortissimo!
Courtiers faint.

Cantata in Coral and Ivory

A 'Coral Palace' Novel

A Sailor at the Imperial Court

Ikhsior is a gruff sea-captain with the build of a professional wrestler and a sailor's vocabulary. When he unexpectedly comes into the family title, it is required that he take up residence at court.

He wants nothing better than to get out of there but the longer he stays at court, the more he becomes entangled in its affairs. A lady-in-waiting offers him a gift he cannot refuse, but will he need to pay a price he cannot afford? Can he face down the sophisticated Lord Lare, explain the meaning behind the mysterious disappearing rock man, manage his estates, maintain his family honor, and find true love all while conjuring up songs appropriate to every occasion at the drop of a lady's hairpin?

Perhaps. But will the court ever recover from the resulting havoc? And can he survive the Emperor's inevitable wrath?
