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
Lucien regards Essek. “You know I steal things for a living, don’t you? You know I’ve got a few dead men to my name, too?”
“I am aware of these facts, Mr. Tavelle. I considered them to be among your highest qualifications for this job.”
“And yet you came here alone?”
“...Yes?”
Lucien digests this. “Okaaay. Well, how’s the pay?”
“200 gold."
Lucien bursts out laughing. “Nope! Nope. Absolutely not. Do you think I was born last night?”
“I beg your pardon?”
“Lemme get this straight.” Lucien leans forward, staring Essek down. “You’re telling me you came to a distant kingdom, arranged to meet a known criminal in a bathhouse, and thought nothing of stripping nude for a parley—but now you’re telling me that you need protection for your meeting with some spook? You’re dangerous enough on your own, my friend. If you’re in the market for a merc, it’s because you are about to walk into some fucked up, unsound, insane shit—and I’m not getting flayed alive and broken on the rack for 200 gold. For 500 gold? Sure, fine, that’ll get you some light flaying, maybe a turn or two on the rack—but not for 200.”
Essek sighs. “Do you prefer it in gold or platinum?”

Summary
He knew he was doomed. There was a sharpness in her gaze that only appeared when she was gearing herself up for battle. Tempers flared. And maybe… maybe he wanted to be caught. Maybe he wanted it to be his own people who decided his fate. Maybe he was just… Tired.

When Hera saw an opportunity to protect the New Republic from a potential threat she took it. After all, what was one man’s happiness compared to keeping the Republic safe? Especially since the man in question was hardly innocent.
Now she has managed to convince the galaxy of Thrawn's death, she needs to break the news to him that the life he has known is over.
As she slowly comes to realise, she didn't really know the Grand Admiral at all.(This is a sequel to “Warrior’s Fortune” which has developed a life of its own. Chapter 1 takes place directly after the victory ceremony on Csilla, chapter 2 just before Faro, Ar'alani and Vanto arrive on Hera's ship. Summary inside if you don't want to read the full story.)

Summary
Wyll stood in the cool squalor of night, nursing a sad goblet of the tiefling refugees’ best wine as he stewed in his own misery.
Just days ago, he had been nestled among them, teaching their children the necessary tools of defense. In the days after the mind flayers had forced an Illithid tadpole into his eye, Wyll found himself scrambling for purpose — to find a way to prove himself useful despite the horror that had chased him. He had been a piece of a larger puzzle, a valiant hero fulfilling his sacred duty: he had been the Blade of Frontiers!
Now, in the biting air of the night, he just felt spurned.
Provoke the Blade, suffer its sting.
Wyll kicked the tip of his foot against the sandy soil of the riverbed. Then he kicked it again, for good measure.
