    Summary

    “C’mon sweetheart, you gotta give me something. I’m dyin’ to know what to put in the obituary of the guy who went headfirst off a church in Hell’s Kitchen," Wade tries yet again.

    The man remains silent for another beat before speaking up in a voice that's scratchy from disuse. “Lawyer,” he says. “I was a lawyer.”

    “But not anymore?” Wade asks. “You get fired? Disbarred? Why's lawyer in the past tense, gorgeous?”

    “I died,” comes the quiet response, and Wade is suddenly very aware he's in the presence of someone potentially crazier than himself for once.

    Summary

    He never takes off his helmet while you're sitting out on a roof at midnight eating Indian from a local place you've never heard of before. And when you get back to his apartment to stitch up that cut he pretends he doesn't have, his glasses take their place the minute you turn your back.

    Summary

    I knew in my heart that if I slept, my body would take me back to the Crucible like a salmon beating upstream. It is that inevitable, my origin and destination.

    When strange sounds are heard at the Crucible, Maria confides her investigation-- sparingly-- in the architect of its Focus, beginning a multidirectional exchange of letters between the visionaries and their perennial co-conspirators. But as unusual phenomena accelerate, the secrets of the Kains: the language of houses and dreams, experimental interactions with the fabric of time, the theory and practice of Memory, and the esoteric science of vitality and the soul-- as well as Maria's own secretiveness-- may threaten the future of their House, and even the afterlife of Wild Nina.

    Summary

    “You got your peepers knocked out saving that old dude!”

    “They didn’t get knocked out.” He hesitates for a moment, and then shrugs and gives a shit-eating grin. “They were surgically removed afterwards.”

    Summary

    The ritual was flawed. Sam looked outside. The people he leaves behind struggle to adapt to a changed world.

    Joel, Sophie, and their rat-sibling attempt to adjust to their new lives and to reconcile themselves with new facts of life. The passage of time promises a strain on supplies that weighs upon people never meant to look after so many others.

    Sam, detached from himself, bears witness.
