    Summary

    The eternal night no longer seemed as malevolent and all-consuming to Jonathan as it once had. It was peaceful, in its way: quiet enough to see danger coming from some distance. Quiet enough for Geoffrey McCullum's war dogs to avoid him under the streetlamps unless he had come across them in the midst of battle.

    But appearances are deceptive. A screaming silence, a bright night... What if everything is turned upside down? Friends and enemies, trust and betrayal, pride and humiliation. At times closer than the two sides of a coin... and Geoffrey and Jonathan have precious little time to unravel it all.

    Summary

    Reid had—mistakenly—believed that the fighting was over between himself and McCullum after the Skal epidemic was put to rest.

    Or, in which McCullum would rather use his hands than his words.

    Summary

    Reid is dead, and everything is worse now.

    He isn't mourning, he keeps telling himself, and it's definitely not Reid's ghost that's come to guilt him from beyond the grave.

    McCullum must be losing his goddamn mind.

    Summary

    “Hang on in there a little longer, Charlie.” McCullum said to the air. He knew what he had to do. Knew exactly how he could help Charlie, or at least, knew someone who could. He huffed out a breath, exhaustion and frustration marred his lined brow into something that resembled anger, but it was nothing like that at all.

    The scar at his throat itched, but McCullum refused to reach up and scratch it.

    It was time, he knew, to visit that lingering shade of grey.

    *

    It has been almost a year, perhaps longer, since Geoffrey McCullum, commander of the Guard of Priwen had seen the leech that let him live. Almost a year since he had to face those thoughts and that reality, and the niggling sensation that he desperately wanted to leave well alone. It was wrong on so many levels. The things that he wanted. The dreams he was having. He wanted to deny it. Deny it all. Continued to deny it all.

    But, with the threat to the Guard too great, he had to do something. He couldn't risk it. Couldn't risk them, even if that meant facing some difficult, impossible, truths. He was not more important than the Guard. And he needed to do something to stop his men from being turned into monsters.
