Summary
A low, persistent growl was rumbling in Thaisha’s chest, and she curled her lips back, flashing the full length of her tusks and the cutting points of her incisors. “Didn’t you learn your fucking lesson already?”
“I thought you might have got sick of his attitude,” the alpha said, grinning.“Came to see if you’d like me to take him off your hands, teach him a lesson or two about respecting his betters.”
“You call yourself my better, you whoreson lickspittle goatfucking shitstain,” Julien started, taking a step forward.
—
On the road to the Barrowguard, Julien beats himself bloody against an unpleasant reality. Thaisha would like to help him, but he doesn’t make it easy.

Summary
It was the seventh month of the third year of the Spirit War. The Protectorate of Gaothmai had that week fallen before the banners of the Saraz Imperium. The Empire would soon turn its gaze across the sea to Rhuv, to bolster its badly overstretched front lines there.
This news reached the Wizard Sworn by speaking mirror, in a report given by a harried-looking Imperial lieutenant. Sworn himself had not set foot outside the tower in these last ten months; shortly after the civil war broke out in earnest he found himself permanently stationed in the Erien, under the direct command of the Sword.
He had that day overseen the last of the executions.

Summary
“Sometimes,” Atin admitted, “I feel like if I don’t kill him I’ll die. I shouldn’t feel that way. I know it makes me a bad person.”
“I don’t think it makes you a bad person at all,” Laseema said. “I understand completely.”

Summary
The next time Jaing slept he had a dream—it wasn’t the next night, per se, he didn’t think, but the next time he slept deeply enough to dream he had a dream. Or it wasn’t exactly a dream, or it was halfway between a dream and a fantasy, something that bloomed right in the space between the thoughts that Jaing had and the thoughts that happened to him.
The dream and the effect it had on Jaing shattered any optimism he might have harbored, regarding the possibility of leaving behind forever what had happened with Sev in the tent in the rain.

Summary
When Shane Hollander looks into the future he sees— not a flat sheet of ice, not that, not anymore, but something equally as empty.
His backup plan was always to go to university. He hadn't thought he'd ever need it, not really. Especially not near the end, when everything felt so certain. But his grades were good, his mom made sure of that, so when he woke up in the hospital he already knew what he was going to do next. But after?
There's a standard path people take, he knows, that comes after school. But when he tries to picture it, slot himself into the picket fence and the corporate overhead fluorescents, it disappears. Like it was never going to be real at all.
(Or: after ending up at a jazz bar to celebrate the end of finals season, Shane Hollander finds himself where he never thought he'd be— in the orbit of NHL superstar Ilya Rozanov.)
