Summary
“You’re not going to die,” she tells him, and rolls up her sleeves.
In the moon’s dim light, the Knight-Captain looks pale as death. His hand in hers burns hot with fever, and she can feel his blood slowly seeping into the hem of her robe.
“Why would you… help me?” he asks.
She summons a wisp to her hand. His blood glints black in its pale green light. “Because you’re going to help me,” she says.

Summary
“I left the Order, when I joined the Inquisition. I’m not a templar anymore.”
“You’re not?” she asks. “Prove it.”
A fireball flares in her palm, the white-hot shriek of it contained but ready to launch. He is all reaction, practiced movements shifting into a defensive stance, hands ready to clap together in a silence. She can smell his lyrium in the air.
Banishing the magic, she says, “You can take the man out of the Order, I guess.”

Evelyn and Cullen remake the world.

Summary
"Conrad," Celine will repeat slowly, rolling the name around in her mouth like wine. Testing it. Tasting it. "Tell me about Conrad, Isabel. Did he break your heart?"
"It's more complicated—"
"It would feel good to write your own ending this time, no?"

Summary
One year after a devastating broken engagement, Belly seems to have landed on her feet: five hundred thousand Instagram followers, a book deal in the works, and a doting—if mysterious—boyfriend. Two weeks before Christmas, however, her prospective publisher throws a wrench in her perfectly crafted life: they want to meet her camera-shy boyfriend before putting pen to paper...and her camera-shy boyfriend doesn't exist.
Enter Conrad Fisher: her forever what-if and the real-life inspiration for her fictional boyfriend, back in Boston for the holidays for the first time since literally running out of Belly's life six years earlier.
What starts as a simple arrangement snowballs into a tangled web of old wounds and even older feelings as the counterfeit couple navigates the holiday season, but who are they really deceiving?

Summary
The double doors open with a thwack as she pads into the kitchen, humming a song in French off-key. And there, standing at the kitchen island in seersucker swim trunks and a white tee, is… a man. A stranger. Belly feels sort of like a fucking idiot, because she sees this stranger and it’s like a chorus of angels starts playing in her head. Or, like, at least a Taylor Swift song.
(Newly home from Paris, Belly decides to take a job babysitting a rich family's mansion on Cape Cod for the winter. She expects nine months of studying for the GRE, watering plants, and watching old movies. She does not expect their
very hottwenty-four-year-old son to start showing up.)- Language:

Summary
Shadowheart and Astarion were among the first to receive Gale's blessing as a God. There would have been a third, as the story went. But that brave soul perished in the destruction of the Netherbrain. His body cast into the Chionthar, never to be recovered.
In other words, Gale could not shake the feeling that he was forgetting something.
