    Summary

    Betrayed and broken, former General Rourke is stripped of everything but his life, which is now the property of his most cunning rival, General Thalia.

    "As if he’d heard her thoughts, his ribs seemed to contract. And there, in the flickering firelight, she saw it—the unmistakable, livid imprint of a boot heel, a bruise blackening the pale skin and sharp bone of his side. Someone else had already had her thoughts and acted on them. She blew out a long, winding breath and took a fortifying, unladylike, gulp of wine.
    She wouldn’t, but he didn’t know that. Any opportunity for a freshly built camaraderie between them had been shattered in the desert, and she didn’t blame him for it in the slightest. She forced herself to turn her eyes off his prostrated form and back to the platter. She perused the offerings with feigned enthusiasm. As if this were planned. As if it were normal."

    Summary

    Turning back to Lan Xichen, Wen Xu smiles. “Very well,” he says. “Since you beg so humbly for your brother’s life, I will grant your dying wish. The Nightless City is home to a number of courtesans, and I think your brother will look quite pretty in paint and silks. Let anyone who visits the Nightless City be witness to the Lan Clan’s shame. Let them see what will happen to their sons, if they disobey.”

    ~

    After Cloud Recesses burns, Wen Xu brings Lan Wangji — the last Lan — back to Nightless City as his prize. Not to be outdone, his brother Wen Chao soon returns with a prize of his own: the Jiang Sect's senior disciple, Wei Wuxian.

    The Wens will come to regret this particular set of choices.

    Summary

    Alternate Universe where babies can survive cryosleep; Spider was sent back to Earth instead of being raised on Pandora.

    At age fifteen, Spider finds himself in danger of being sent to prison, a fate worse than death in Earth’s unregulated, RDA-funded labor camps. Desperate for freedom, he lies about his age to enlist in the RDA and escape to Pandora. Spider thinks he’s finally found a place where he belongs, but his newfound refuge is soon shattered when he’s taken prisoner by none other than the race-traitor terrorist, Jake Sully— the man who orphaned him.

    Can Spider survive being a war prisoner of the vicious Na’vi, or will he meet the same fate as his father?
