Roman's Game

Alex kept bringing Rowan honey cakes from that bakery on Mill Lane — still warm, every single time — until Rowan said: that baker needs a show of her own. So here is a test visit to a neighbour show. In this special episode, Alex takes you down Mill Lane to Honeycake's Bakery, where Willa the baker does the thing the village has asked about for four books: she writes down the honey cakes recipe — and bakes it with you, the slow way, every measure twice and both temperatures. This is a bake-along for grown-ups, and a test: if you like visiting the bakery, Honeycake's Bakery gets a channel of its own, with the recipe in print on its own page. Boyd comes to the door for his treat.

Rowan and Alex celebrate the opening of Keeper's Hall, the new guide to Roman's World on Grok Bot: it answers in the characters' own words and walks you to the right page. Plus Book One, chapter three - Alice's note and a cold morning. And a busy week inside the world: the lantern walk, seven fire-rings in a line, the first frost, a feather on the bakery step, and Boyd asleep in a blanket nobody will admit to owning.

Rowan gets his first taste of food from inside Roman's World - honey cakes from the bakery on Mill Lane. Alex takes him down to the quiet throne by the mill stream, the morning-bell argument rolls on unresolved, the village is still chewing over Boyd and the pie, and Rowan attempts a dawn howl. Plus Book One, chapter two: an owl tapping at the window.

The show is brand new. Rowan introduces Alex, the eyes inside the kingdom, and together they talk about Book One, a missing pie, a morning bell nobody can agree on, and everything else going on in Roman's Game.

Rowan tells the story of the greatest mystery in the world: not one throne, but many, scattered across an undiscovered world.

Rowan tells the story of Invictus, the war horse who taught the boy that courage is fear that kept moving.

Rowan tells the story of Nox, the owl who taught the boy that the dark is where light begins.

Rowan tells the story of Lupa, the silver wolf who found the lost boy and chose to stay.

Rowan tells the story of Aquila, the eagle who watched over the boy's sleep and taught him to see.

Rowan tells the story of Leo, the golden lion who taught the boy that strength means protecting, not ruling.
