Summary
In which the Lady Aranessa Royce decides what that name is going to mean now, Sir Julien Davinos finds out what kind of man he is when it matters, and some remnant of Thjazi Fang is not ready to leave this world quite yet.
ch. vi
Julien does not like or enjoy any part of the Eternal Night, and he does not find architecture or history lessons to be as fascinating as apparently everyone else does. He is honest enough to admit his nerves are frayed, listening out within his own thoughts for any hint of the wrong thing moving around in there. He does not find it. It has not been so quiet probably since he first noticed it. Perhaps it is content, and likes where he is bringing it. Well now, that is an unpleasant possibility.
He is so alert for the clawing wrongness inside, which has only ever spoken to him in a voice like his own, that when Doctor Talter asks for a torch he makes himself useful on instinct and obliges her.
Everyone turns. Oh. That’s not-

Summary
Something goes wrong. The crown is split during Narinder's defeat, splitting the power between him and the Lamb.
Narinder keeps a portion of his godhood, and the Lamb finds that abilities they had access to before are no longer possible: Healing is cut short. Powers are halved. And there is a very real chance of perma-death, as the ability to resurrect is not possible without full power, and the God of Death is not cooperative.
Afterlife and Purgatory are not options either. Dying means erasure. Gone.Lambert knows Narinder grows stronger by the day, crown or not, and yet keeps him spared as they try to figure out how to complete their own goals. Narinder vows vengeance on the lamb for usurping him. After a few unsuccessful murder attempts, he's in for the long haul. It is only a matter of time before the Lamb's guard is down before he can strike, and The One Who Waits is very patient. When a mystic being demands they save the bishops from purgatory, an alliance is in order.
Except...the lamb's actions and their presence begin to unlock abilities within the God of Death he didn't know he had prior to his imprisonment, among other fickle things, like emotions. The prophecy didn't warn him of that part.

Summary
If Essek were to kill Caleb, he would do it with a spell.
None of the intimate agony of feeling the last flutters of his heart with his own skin. He cannot even afford himself the painful honesty of knowing that if he were to do it, it would be impersonal and practiced, something Essek has done to many before and will do to many others. This knowledge is not enough to stop him imagining it.
In the months following the events of Cognouza and the Somnovem, Essek fails to come to terms with the fact that he is a dangerous man.

Summary
There is a gravity that has pulled them together many times. It pulled Caleb’s lips to Essek’s forehead, and Essek’s hands to Caleb’s arms when a tower collapsed upon him. It pulled Caleb to Eiselcross, now, to be at Essek’s side as his life as the Shadowhand dies.
Now, it could pull them together into Aeor.
(Two wizards venture into Aeor - and find that something has woken in the dead city's depths. Something dangerous. Something that will force them to decide what their pasts mean to them, and what they mean to each other.)
