    Summary

    “Oh,” Essek says, and a tremulous smile comes to his mouth. “That’s wonderful. You, ah.” He licks his lips. “You understand what happened?”

    Caleb nods. “Ja. Clone spell. I don’t – things are a little blurry. But I . . . must have died?”

    A ripple passes across Essek’s face. “You did,” he says quietly, with a rasp to his voice. “Just now.” He swallows audibly. “I barely made it here in time."

    Summary

    Essek Thelyss comes to Soltryce to deliver guest lectures and, on the side, cultivate the brand new Archmage of Domestic Protections. He’s hoping that Caleb Widogast will oblige him by picking up his predecessor’s interest in conspiring to steal Luxon beacons, after so rudely murdering Da’leth mere weeks before the culmination of their schemes.

    Essek is prepared for espionage. He is not prepared to find a love that will change the course of his life.

    Summary

    “You accused me of treating this like a game. I am sorry if I’ve led you to believe that it is only a game—though I won't deny that part of it is.” Bren gives a disarming smile. “My life is either games or murder, after all.”
    “Or mail fraud,” Thelyss says dryly, not even a little disarmed.
    “The mail fraud is a sort of game as well.”
    A sigh. “Is this your way of telling me that you intend to continue playing?”
    Bren smiles again, sharper. “If you would let me.”

    (In which Bren Aldric Ermendrud decides to seduce the Shadowhand and finds that the best way to convince someone to be vulnerable with you is to be vulnerable in turn.)

    Summary

    Each time Essek returns to his towers, he searches them for new evidence of Dwendalian trespassing. He catalogues every rumpled cushion cover, every ink spot, every dunamantic text left slightly out of place.

    It is, he imagines, not unlike coming home to another person.

    Summary

    “Beauregard – you said she is outside?” Essek half-turns in the direction of the front door. “Should we invite her in?”

    It feels like there is something stuck in his throat. “In a moment. She is, ah – giving us some space.”

    Essek turns back to stare at him. Repeats quietly, dangerously, “Space.”

    Caleb forces himself to swallow. “Yes.”

    Essek’s attention is a palpable thing now, sharp like a knife’s edge against his cheek. “Explain.”

    One moment makes all the difference during the battle at Blumenthal. In the aftermath, the Nein grapple with what comes next.
