Summary
There is a story here that passes his lips in a hurry, a story of hubris, a story with a terrible ending. Her thumb brushes against his chest, catching the hair there, touching the burned skin from the trail of the orb, wondering whether in her shrouded other life, another man knelt before her like this and asked her to trust him.
In a hidden past and a hazy present, Anara meets a man with dark hair and dark ambition.

Summary
He feels a deep connection to her in this moment, the way she holds her cup with the tips of her fingers, as if she can’t exactly remember how to hold it, and the way he has been to this cafe a hundred times but can’t seem to remember exactly how to sit in front of someone on some facsimile of a date. A woman without a past. A man without a future. The steam from his drink rises slowly into the air, where it dissipates in the ephemeral present and is instantly replaced by another thin stream.
A professor on medical leave and an amnesiac ex-cult member meet and fall in love at a support group.

Summary
She doesn’t know, she doesn’t know what she doesn’t know, she might never know. What deity can she pray to to fill the holes in her brain and this empty, yawning cavity in her chest? What is the god she used to pray to doing now, watching her suffer but not lifting a divine finger to help?
In the darkness of the shadow-cursed lands, Anara tries on a few gods, a few friends, a few different ways to pray.
