Summary
The boy finally looks at him— his mussed up hair, his rouged cheeks, his sharp eyes, slowly gathering, like a cat’s claws, like a sickle to the chaff.
“I’m Wise.” The boy— Wise— bows, an elegant, impudent little movement that makes Lighter feel oddly assessed.
“Thank you for not killing our mother.”
Lighter Lorenz, retainer of the Arna family and personal attendant to its heir, is a man of duty.

Summary
“Finish the story,” Phainon prompts, and it comes out kind of quiet, kind of weird.
“He fell in love with a warrior in Okhema,” Mydei tells him, sliding a hand under his pillow. “They were equals in just about everything, and that’s… significant to a Kremnoan. He died sacrificing himself to buy that warrior time to save the city.”
“That sounds like something a hero would do to me.”
“Maybe,” Mydei grumbles. “A real hero wouldn’t leave the one he loves to fight alone.”
|
On a trip to see his sick sister, Phainon realizes a few things. Foremost of these: through it all, Mydei has never once left his side.- Language:

Summary
Mydeimos’s smile is sharp as he shrugs. “What’s your name again?”
“Phainon of—” Phainon cuts himself off, looking away. It doesn’t matter where he’s from. Not anymore. “Phainon.”
“Phainon of Nowhere,” Mydeimos says, and those words disembowel Phainon, cutting into his belly and slicing clean across it. “Come to bed with me. We have a show to put on.”
In the midst of an ongoing war between Okhema and Castrum Kremnos, Mydei's mother gifts him Phainon, an Okheman bed slave he neither wants nor needs. But there is more at stake for both Mydei and Phainon: between Gorgo's ploys, Eurypon's plans, and the advancing black tide, they are pulled between a growing desire for each other and the very fate of their world.

Summary
The short of it: Kaveh caught a very rare manifestation of the Withering that was not Eleazar after clearing out a remaining pocket of said Withering by himself. Alone. In the woods. Following directions the Traveler scribbled on a tree trunk somewhere, probably. This conclusion will eventually be drawn.
The long of it: Kaveh went home coughing up flower petals in a stroke of truly poetic misfortune, and if Alhaitham's presence exacerbated his mysterious new problem terribly, well, that was just one more way in which Kaveh would have to endure excruciating pain for fear of losing a man he could not have, did not deserve to have, but was too greedy to let go of.

Two fools, the impasse, and the disease that punishes the unspoken thing between them. Love is as cruel as you choose to make it for yourself. Fortunately, it takes two to love, in this case. [Hanahaki Disease]
