    Summary

    Edgin didn't escape the Beckoning Death untouched. He survived, yes, but it left him with a familiar mark. The visions of Zia that had haunted him since that day complicated things too. And now Xenk is at his door...?

    Summary

    "It is done," Xenk says. He holds up his own right hand to demonstrate, displaying the golden light that is already sinking into his gauntlet and disappearing beneath. "We are bound, you and I, until the magic is dispelled."

    "What the fuck," Edgin whispers. He scrabbles at his sleeve, yanking it up to examine the faintly-glowing runes that have encircled his wrist. "What the fuck? What do you mean, bound?"

    Sent by the High Harpers to retrieve a criminal to aid in a desperate mission, and authorized to use binding magic to ensure his cooperation, Xenk comes to understand and long for the former Harper agent Edgin Darvis during the tenday they spend in Icewind Dale, surrounded on all sides by ice, and cold, and endless lonely nothingness.

    Summary

    “For the crime of attempting to parlay, the hag has cursed me to fall prey to my most bestial urges. Either to secret myself to the woods and there lose my mind, or else to succumb to overwhelming desire for the first creature to touch me. It is why…” Here, a spark of Xenk’s old self-righteousness flares in his eyes. “...I begged you not to touch me. And now here we are.”

    “In my defense, you weren’t really coherent,” Ed says weakly.

    Three months after the defeat of Sofina, Xenk shows up on Ed's new doorstep needing help with a very specific curse.

    Summary

    Yesterday, Young Sam was researching an article to write for the Times, after getting into a huge fight with his Dad. Today, he's trapped fifty years in the past, in an Ankh-Morpork much darker than the one he grew up in, with a civil war looming on the horizon. He is not having a good time - and things will only get worse when he meets the unexpectedly familiar Sergeant-at-Arms John Keel.

    Twenty-year-old Young Sam gets into a fight with his father, Commander Vimes, about not joining the Watch, and then, due to a magical mishap, lands himself in the past, forced to borrow the identity of Ned Coates for the two weeks leading up to the Glorious Twenty-Fifth of May. The only versions of his Dad available to him are a bastard who doesn't recognize him, and a twerpy kid who definitely doesn't recognize him.
