You punch through the water’s grime-green surface like a bullet shattering brick.
The river catches you, but it cannot cradle you forever.

Summary
Jessamine wanted. Oh, how she wanted. She wanted to have a forever of dark, chilly nights, of the world reduced to this room and just the two of them in it, so that maybe her heart wouldn’t break at the thought of morning.
Jessamine and Corvo navigate a rare night alone.

Summary
Coldridge Prison is a house of firmly closed doors. Locks and logbooks and cold hard steel keep the world within from the world without, every warm body accounted for and in its proper place. But even so, no box is ever truly closed. It just depends on the size of your perspective—and there will always, always be a rat that got in.
Corvo makes—and keeps—a friend.

Summary
“Why did you pull me out of the river? You had to know it would come to this. You aren’t a fool.” His voice is tight and ragged. The gulls screech and wheel in the sky above them.
Daud’s eyes crack open. He stares up Corvo’s blade at him and pants, “Bad luck and I are old friends."
Set adrift and half-conscious, Corvo is hauled from the Wrenhaven by a gruff stranger with rough hands and murky intentions. But nothing is quite as it seems, and the scraps of soul that linger in the Heart have a great deal to say.

Summary
The night Corvo returns from Holger Square, Samuel dreams of mist on the Wrenhaven and bodies flickering like flames in the wind.
He ferries Death, and so he will ferry the dead as well.

Summary
A month after the Empress’ murder, Geoff Curnow is reassigned to Coldridge Prison.
“It’s bend or break in Coldridge, Geoff has known from day one. Even those with some sort of moral compass are eventually whipped into shape by the status quo, and even the most incorruptible captain can find himself forced to lean away from his values – because it’s bend or break, and it’s every man for himself.
But sometimes, there is no bend. There is only the breaking point.”

Summary
It's better to light a candle than to curse the darkness.
Two months into her search for the closest thing she has to family, Billie finds assistance from a most unexpected quarter. The Royal Protector has business of his own with Daud, and he's willing to work with Jessamine's killer in order to see it settled. Two formerly-sorcerous assassins, a dozen of the best fighters Karnaca's underground can offer, and one target: the Knife of Dunwall, the man who changed both their lives forever.
One thing's for sure: it's going to be a night to remember.

Summary
"Oh, Captain?” Charles paused at the open door. “You mentioned a Captain Flint earlier. Would this be the Flint who sacked and burned the Maria Aleyne? About, oh, seven years back?”
“Not a clue,” said Charles. “He’s the only Flint in these parts, though. Why?”
“I’d just rather like to shake the fellow’s hand, is all,” said Hamilton quietly.Bookmarked by peatmoss
