Orrinir Relickim received an unusual wedding present from his husband, Uileac: Bannain, a disobedient horse who seems determined to end his marriage. One explosive kick from the animal leaves Uileac critically injured just days before the Feast of the Horse, a festival celebrating equines and their country's magic High Poetry system.

Unable to participate in the festival's archery competition, Uileac lashes out at Orrinir in a series of tense confrontations that challenge their relationship like never before. Orrinir must balance his insecurities with affection for his prideful husband, whose single-minded focus on success causes deep frustration for both men. Between rousing fight scenes and beautiful poetry, the couple shares moments of deep intimacy that leave them emotionally exposed.

Fast-paced, adventurous, yet deeply heartfelt, Pride Before a Fall offers a greater glimpse into the world of Breme, whose existence hinges upon power-infused poetry. Luscious prose will whisk you away into a realm melding realism and fantasy for a unique reading experience.
