Summary
She wanted the power more than anything, but more than that she wanted to share it with the one who was most deserving of her gratitude, her affection. Never one to deny herself, the adventurer saw no reason why her personal ambitions could not manifest alongside the desires of her heart.
“We can rule the world. Together.”
It was a grave and terrible calculation.
———

Summary
What kind of illithid colony chose not to cull an illithid as outrageously aberrant as the Emperor? How did it relearn the secret to building nautiloids, long-lost technology from the age of illithid dominion? Who was the Absolute, before it was the Absolute?
Tav remembers. They are one of the last thralls of the original colony, from before the madness seized the brain. Soon, they will be reborn as another nameless illithid, another cog in a senseless machine, no past, no present, no future. But then the voice of the Absolute falls silent. The nautiloid crashes. And Tav remembers what was lost.

Summary
Tara flew to his shoulder and gazed down with him, taking in the scene.
“Do you see it?” he whispered. “What…”
“I see it.” She rubbed her cheek against his, her tail curling around his hunched shoulders.
“What does it mean?”
“It means hope, Gale. It means something real.”—
Gale is a divination wizard, but a mere shadow of his former glory.
Aoife is an Oath of the Ancients paladin, haunted by the grief of her past.
A year after their fateful first meeting Aoife's path crosses the Wizard of Waterdeep's once more. But as the two are drawn together, Gale's misfortune with the orb and Aoife's long-held sorrow aren't the only dark shadows cast upon them by the past, and soon their fates become as entangled as the threads of the Weave.

Summary
This is how it begins:
"Ansur! I mean you no harm! I wish only to make an offer. Hear it, this is all I ask; turn me away, strike me down, if it bears no interest to you!"
The storm did not die, no, but it lost its fury, its warning edge, that which bade them turn back. That shadow in the sky which sparked, sometimes, with distant lightning—it descended in swooping hooks that cut the air so cleanly, so quietly, it was almost a surprise, despite his close observation, when Balduran found Ansur before him.
He reached his hand out, bridging half the gap, supplicant, unarmed, honest.
Ansur hesitated for only a moment. Then, with a twist and flap of his powerful wings; with a manœuvring of his muscular neck, he pressed his crest against Balduran’s palm.
And right there, in that instant: the eye of the storm.
You think, of course, that you know how it ends, and in a way, you are correct. That is how it ends, sometimes. This time, however, Ansur sees it happen—yes, he foresees it all—just as his Balduran arrives at Moonrise Towers, underprotected, unprepared.
This is the story of how they survive.
