Summary
The puppet masters behind the Wild Hunt have been defeated, one by one. As Wild Hunt outbreaks grow fewer and farther between, Illuga loses the very reason that has kept him going day for day, year for year. As he struggles to trust and find comfort in this new era of peace, it takes more than one pair of hands to catch him as he falls.

Bookmarker's Notes
“You know, I think if you’re going to be insulting someone, you should stop the pretense of politeness and leave out their title too. Makes it sound more honest.”
“... Are you giving me advice on how to best insult you?”

Summary
“Have you considered the possibility that Neil has chosen you, but believes you have not chosen him?” Renee says. "Have you ever explicitly told him what you want?”
“Neil knows what I want,” Andrew snaps. This is not Andrew’s fault.
“How do you know?”
Because Neil always knows. He is as fluent in Andrew’s micro-expressions as he is in German and French. He knows which head tilts mean “go on” and which ones mean “shut up.” Without ever asking, he learned what it meant to see Andrew wearing double layers of long sleeves, or taking multiple showers in a day, and learned to hand Andrew the car keys.
That has always been the most terrifying thing about Neil — his patience to wait, watch, listen, learn. The prospect that if Neil were given enough time, there would be no part of Andrew that was just Andrew’s anymore.
“He has to know,” Andrew says.
“Does he?” Renee says. “Have you ever known Neil to assume that he is wanted?”
Five times Neil tells someone that he and Andrew aren’t dating, and one time Andrew uses his words to set the record straight.

Summary
The city still remembers their names. The Moondrop still remembers the blood. And Shion, no matter how much it breaks him, remembers every face that has been lost. When Nezumi returns, what he finds is Shion on the edge of ruin—not the boy who once saved him, but the man who doesn’t know how to save himself.

Summary
“Why do they throw flowers?”
“They’re well-wishes,” Phainon answers. “Crocuses are for new beginnings, cyclamen are for love, colchicum for fidelity. They’re blessing the marriage.”
Mydei’s hand shifts a little lower, warm fingers circling Phainon’s wrist. “Your traditions are terribly sentimental.”
“Romantic,” Phainon corrects. “Just call them romantic.”
|
To save his people, Mydei strikes a deal. Aid in exchange for two things: the coreflame of Strife and his hand in marriage.Series

Summary
Aventurine is not in the habit of allowing himself to want. Wanting is dangerous. Yearning is a vulnerability. Desires are weak points that can be exploited by others and used to take advantage and control. The responsible thing to do is to stamp them out, rid himself of them in such a way that the fantasies and the delusions are no longer appealing.
That’s what he should do. That’s what he’s trying to do. But somewhere deep in his small, hollow little heart, there’s somehow just enough of a soft core left to hope.
Hope is almost as dangerous as want.
After Penacony, Aventurine takes on the biggest gamble of his life — his heart, soul, and desires laid out on the table. He only does it because he doesn't expect Ratio to match his wager. But not only does the good doctor match it, he raises the stakes so far beyond what Aventurine could have ever allowed himself to dream of winning.
