Summary
The ritual is complete, and Julian has all his memories back. There are still things that he and Altheia must work through, not least the matter of the Fool, and Altheia's strange dreams about the Lazaret and Lucio. But for now, they take a break with Julian's Nevivon family, and aboard their own ship.
~*~*~*~
...every kiss that felt so right, how every time they held each other it felt like she belonged… it all made sense. How could it feel anything but right, when they’d defied years of separation and even death to find their way together again? How could she not belong in these arms, and he in hers?

Summary
Aboard their ship, their gate, where their magic is strongest, Altheia and Julian are finally able to perform the ritual that will break the Forget Me spell that Altheia cast before her death, and return Julian's memories of their past - even before her time as his apprentice.
*~*~*~*
But there, glimmers of the memories, flashes of her, of a smile, of a word, I love you, a dizzying dance, burning passion, laughter and tears and torment, and all that they had endured and lived together, side by side, always.

Summary
After an early birthday party in the newly-renovated rooftop garden, Julian and Altheia set sail for Nevivon aboard their new ship. But before the end of their voyage, the stars align, and Julian is able to put everything he has learnt about the sea, the stars, magic and himself, towards a spell that could change their lives forever.
This is effectively a rewrite of the 'one month later' scene in Julian's route's epilogue, if you squint.
*~*~*~*
He looked up once more at the stars, at the constellation of Valetia. For a moment, he lingered on the memory of laying on the clinic roof with Altheia, looking up at the stars, when he had so whimsically named one after her, and she’d named the one next to it after him. How could they have known how significant that would be?Series

Summary
Julian and Altheia finally find everything they need to complete the ritual to break the spell holding back Julian's memories of their past. But as Asra's last secret is revealed, with potentially devastating consequences, they find that the stakes are far higher than any of them could have imagined.
She was the sea... she felt it surge through her limbs, bubble through her fingertips, eddy around her feet; there was a tide in her heart, seaspray in her hair. And she danced.

Summary
Asra and Altheia seek Muriel's help in dispelling the terrifying shadowy echoes that haunt Julian's old clinic, remnants of Altheia's powerful magic from the past that threaten to drag her into the unstable void between realms. Julian continues his studies of the stars and comes closer to creating the talisman he needs, but when Altheia suffers a horrifying nightmare, they seek safe harbour together. And the ship gets a name.
~*~*~*~*~
Lowering her sword, Altheia saw within the circle of Selina’s sigil. Dark nothingness, and within that nothingness, a black, towering structure. The salty tang of the sea, the acrid stench of burning ashes.
