Summary
What would happen if Hob Gadling landed on Orpheus’s mysterious island in the year 1800? What would unfold if he befriended that sad, despairing boy who thinks about death but still carries a spark of life within him? What if Hob decided to nurture that spark, returning every five years to show Orpheus that life is truly worth living?
After years of absence and avoiding his son, Dream of the Endless comes to ask Orpheus for help in finding his lost brother. He expects to hear a plea for death – because Orpheus begged for it for millennia. But this time it will be completely different – and it will be the King of Dreams who is shocked.
After all – like father, like son, right?

Summary
"You came to the edge of Time and Night, at the borders of oblivion, to offer me the chance to undo my death and return to life?"
"Before I answer that question, I want to know if you're about to call me an idiot."
"I cannot swear that I am not," Dream says, with the faintest hint of a smile. "Even for you, Hob, this is dangerous. More than you understand. And yet," he adds before Hob can formulate a defence, "I am. Honoured. You should not have come, but..."
"But you're kind of glad I did, aren't you?"
(Hob Gadling attends the funeral of the King of Dreams. But that isn't where the story ends. It's only where it begins.)

Summary
"Orpheus wakes with a start. It has been a while, since anything has truly startled him. The ocean breeze feels soft and clean in his hair, as it always has. He breathes it in, calming himself. There’s a phantom ache, low in his chest, as a single tear tracks languidly down his cheek. It tickles. For a fleeting moment, he thinks of scratching the itch."
Aka Orpheus has a premonition, he knows what's gonna happen after his death and tries to change it by asking Desire for help, who sends Hob his way. Let's find out if they can!!
