Summary
Geralt's muscles heave backwards, flinging him down against the bed. He tries to struggle upwards but it feels like he’s been buried beneath a mountain. Every inch of him is pressed completely still. His eyes close, and he’s left in the dark with nothing but his racing heart for company. He’s not tired, he’s never been less tired. But the curse wants him to sleep, it seems. It’ll force him to lie here until he does. How much of his life will it start to control, now that he’s declared war against it? Now that he knows it’s lurking in his bones, now that it doesn’t have to be subtle?
He swallows. Takes a long, deep breath, gathering every bit of courage he has to stop himself from slipping back into panic. He still has control over his lungs. He still has that.
For now.
(Or: Witchers don't retire. They stay on the Path until it kills them. They hunt monsters and they want nothing from life. This isn't exactly by choice.)

Summary
"The Sleeping Soldier will be met by a hunter, a scholar, and a priest." This was the prophecy of heroes, passed down by the Speakers, and they hadn't been wrong yet.
Lucian Enache has always known she was different, and being claimed as her mother's firstborn son and given to the church as a baby is just the tip of the iceberg. It's not until she falls in with the last son of the Belmonts, a Speaker magician, and the son of Dracula himself that she starts to realise just how strange she and her powers really are.
As they journey across Wallachia and beyond, it soon becomes clear that the prophecy runs a lot deeper than just defeating the King of Vampires.

Summary
Percy knows he rambles quite a bit in his prayers to Poseidon, but at least he is safe in the knowledge that Poseidon is too busy of a god to ever really listen… right?
Meanwhile, Poseidon is trying to be a responsible god, but Sally Jackson keeps praying to him about their son and Annabeth Chase won't shut up about... what was she even talking about? At least the di Angelo kid keeps giving him McDonalds.
