    Summary

    Only mere hours ago you were ready to accept whatever fate decided upon since landing yourself in the Downside. But now? You vow to put every fiber of your being into guiding these exiles to whatever it is they desire. Be it Freedom, Glory, Home...

    Summary

    The Reader is lying down in the Sandfolds after an unpleasant trip down the Sclorian river when a group that refers themselves as the Chastity stops and rescues her. Now, as their designated Reader, she is supposed to carry them through the Rites for a chance at liberation from the Downside. Will she be able to do that in a triumvirate composed by former members of the Commonwealth upper class, who think that the only way of winning is by bending the rules and bribing their opponents?

    Summary

    The Downside is unkind to those who dare to hope.

    Either hot enough to scorch the flesh, or wet enough to scour paint from clapboard, or else so cold, an errant gust could freeze the skin, the landscape is unforgiving, the terrain, treacherous, the Triumvirates, ruthless.

    The Rites, absolute.

    Options for surviving the Downside are as vast as the horizon, a circle and thus infinitely broad. Yet the Reader knows each choice must be made with the utmost caution, for the footprints the Nightwings leave behind are as important as the Path they follow. They’re part of the same journey — the story of the Scribes. Of those who return in glory, and those who remain in exile to the end of their days.

    The Rites have, perhaps, turned the world into a cruel and at times inhospitable place. The thing, considers the Reader, that makes it all bearable is the love that moves in sync with the cadence of forgiveness, sings in tune with the melody of liberation, and dances in rhythm with the music of companionship.

    A love that moves the Stars and the soul both...

    Summary

    When you make a promise, you ought to keep it, whatever it takes. But nothing is ever that simple in the Downside. After finding a Reader in the Sandfolds, Hedwyn makes a promise - but is it a promise that he can keep, without breaking certain other vows he made? Can he bring himself to make good on his word when so much has changed since he gave it? Is it even physically possible? He never expected to be faced with such questions, but as he and his friends are plunged into the Rites, he'll fight to find the best answers he can - whatever it takes.
