Summary
Bishop Langstrom looks at a haunted young priest and gets deja vu. It's like the ghost of the young man he once helped to save has come back to chill his bones. He'll have to pray for a resurrection like that of Saint Lazarus, because Jud Duplenticy is a good priest whose work the world needs.

Summary
Every time Harry inadvertently reveals another secret about his unsavory past, he first freezes, then glances involuntarily toward Eliot.
This time is no exception, even if he's tied to a metal chair, wrists chafing against the coarse rope holding them behind the sharp edges of its back, shoulders pulled taut and straining. Even if there are five, count them, five dangerous criminals between him and Eliot, who has just strolled in through the door.

Summary
Betrayed and broken, former General Rourke is stripped of everything but his life, which is now the property of his most cunning rival, General Thalia.
"As if he’d heard her thoughts, his ribs seemed to contract. And there, in the flickering firelight, she saw it—the unmistakable, livid imprint of a boot heel, a bruise blackening the pale skin and sharp bone of his side. Someone else had already had her thoughts and acted on them. She blew out a long, winding breath and took a fortifying, unladylike, gulp of wine.
She wouldn’t, but he didn’t know that. Any opportunity for a freshly built camaraderie between them had been shattered in the desert, and she didn’t blame him for it in the slightest. She forced herself to turn her eyes off his prostrated form and back to the platter. She perused the offerings with feigned enthusiasm. As if this were planned. As if it were normal."Series

Summary
This is how the son of Gondor returns home.
Faramir stands first, moves, though the gap between them is still large. No one else moves.
“Are you real?” he asks.
Boromir can only shrug. He is not dead, nor is he a ghost, nor is he whole. He is, simply, here.Bookmarked by Penguinrunner
