Cavender by Linda Mooney

Author Henry Elder came to Alta Novis to learn more about the fabled battle lord and his lady. But rather than re-tell the tales of their already well-known exploits, he wants to hear about the couple from the people who really know them. The people who live, love, interact, and fight alongside with them. He wants to hear those personal anecdotes in order to discover a side of Yulen and Atty D'Jacques that few people know.

These are the stories he discovered.

Cavender - Cavender recounts the time when Atty wanted a special gift to give Yulen for his birthday. Only to discover the battle lady had never celebrated her own.
