    Summary

    Deirta Thelyss slowly stepped into the room, letting her eyes roam across the ordered chaos of her son’s old workspace. She stopped before him, her gown pristine, hair precisely braided, and elegant jewelry dangling from her ears. By comparison, Essek was a mess.

    Essek left Rosohna for good after whatever good fortune left him alive after the unspeakable events in Aeor. After abandoning his position and choosing a life on the run in hopes of avoiding the consequences looming over his shoulder, Essek finds the time to contemplate what it means to have a family and what to do about the one he left behind.

    Summary

    He thinks maybe it should make him more frightened, that he should worry about the liabilities he has allowed these people to become. It does nothing to temper the joy of being trusted, of being someone worthy of friend. It does nothing to diminish the memory of Caleb’s spellbook in his lap this morning, its owner sound asleep before him; the sweet press of concern behind Jester’s words in his mind the night before as she reached out with sending.
    A rabbit walks into a snare. The snare closes around its throat, killing it. What is responsible for its death, the stupidity of the rabbit or the viciousness of the snare’s purpose?
    The Shadowhand of the Bright Queen walks into the T-Dock, he thinks, and feels sick.

    Two months after surviving the ruin of Aeor, Caleb and Essek return to tie up loose ends.
