Summary
“The bible is filled with demons. If you believe in God, you have to believe in the devil. Jesus himself was an exorcist.”
September 1994: a social worker with the Followers of the Apocalypse drives out to Jacobstown after being assigned the Boone family. Diane Williams has read the file: following the death of his wife, Craig has been in debt for months and his daughter Melody is spiraling, but help is at hand. The trick will be getting them to accept it, and Diane juggles the case between visits to inner-city Freeside dealing with the Geckos and their son Benny's juvenile delinquency, drinking sessions with her colleague Arcade as they deplore funding cuts under Governor House, and liaisons with the local priest Antony who appears to have a mysterious stake in the fate of the Boones. But when the family attempt to return to church, Melody reacts in a way nobody could predict and Diane is left scrambling. Antony steps forward with a modern take on a very old idea to rid Melody of her ‘demons’…but just how well does he understand the situation?
An exorcism story told in 3 acts, based on the Legion quest ‘Saving Sergeant Teddy’ with the reading that perhaps Antony had a good reason for taking Melody’s bear.

Summary
Martin played fascination, but the amount of bull he’d heard from witches in his time meant this particular prophesy meant as much as the one where he was supposed to meet his end half a mile up in the sky. “Really?”
“Rea-lly,” the witch said, and the leather of its gloves creaked as it crooked its hands. “You talk well, for an Abbey man. I think I will eat your tongue.”

Summary
The first time the Outsider came to Emily, it had been through the gloom of a bedroom at night. He’d asked her things like whether she liked paddling in the sea, how she felt about icicles, did she believe tyrannicide was a reasonable route in order to secure a rightful throne.

Summary
She dances in the light, sowing darkness behind her. They cannot hope to understand her so they praise her, revile her and sing her songs all the same.

Summary
"The sea licks against their cabin windows and pitches the ship like a child’s ball, and Preston Moray clings to her and whispers promises he can’t possibly keep into her oil-black hair." Vera Moray receives offers and adoration from any man she wants, and her husband will take her to any corner of the Isles she desires. It is not enough.

Summary
He was the conqueror of 86 tribes, the Son of Mars, chosen by the gods to lead man out of the ashes of the Old World.
As the numbers swelled beneath the banners of the Legion, Caesar ordered the killing of his inner circle, men he could no longer trust, not with command, not with his old name or the true history he perverted.
Now he stands in the lengthening shadow of the Monster of the East, the Legate Lanius, who never read of Julius or Augustus in the old books, who never had any use for the written word at all. The Butcher's vision of the future is a grim hell he does not recognize, but Caesar has left no one alive that remembers another time.. or their original purpose.
Now his strength fails him and he needs an heir to restore the Legion's glory. The gods fail to grant him a child, and the sky burns with signs and portents. Fortuna gives her Wheel a spin, and only the Khan god Coyote knows where it lands. The remnants of the Enclave offer up an unlikely alliance, and the sibyl shrieks of the coming of the God of War, who walks the desert in the form of a First Recon man.
Only Vulpes Inculta is clever enough to find a way out, but the secrets he discovers could take a man's soul.

Summary
"In Tyvia, he takes the skin of a man with gills and claws and scales upon his brow and winds his way down to the docks to share cigars with fishermen. He listens to them laugh. Laughs when they call him “grandfather” without an ounce of true belief, and he takes the cigars of the ones who do believe and blows the fire back into their lungs." Men throughout the Isles and beyond them believe they know the Outsider, and he changes his appearance and his gifts to suit their fear and worship. None of them truly understand.
