    Summary

    After the scandal of Christine's time at the Opera Populaire has faded, ordinary life goes on. After the de Chagny family disinherits its willful youngest son, Raoul serves with the Foreign Legion in Indochina and returns home stripped of his health, his hearing, and his illusions. Christine makes ends meet by tutoring, but cannot help but miss the music. Is this the life they fought for?

    Sometimes love is easy; sometimes it is a great deal of work, and it is not of less value for that.

    As the relationship between Stephen Strange and his wife Clea breaks down, he finds solace in the most unlikely of places.

    Esca lets his mind wander to their future, to bright days spent in the field at Marcus’ side and tired evenings at the fireside with Cub drowsing at their feet, and eventually, his little herd of horses grazing the slopes of their home.

    "I know this guy's type, Pike, okay? William Wentworth IV, his name is, and they're a dime a dozen in the New York art world. Cultured old money elitists who calculate the dollar value of everyone and everything they see and don't understand the meaning of 'no.'" Henry shakes his head. "I don't want him coming out here with a dozen high-end real estate developers."

    Summary

    Twenty years ago The Eagle of the Ninth was the first novel I ever slashed. What I wrote then is entirely different to what I write now, and better for it, but the love for Rosemary Sutcliff's characters remains the same.

    Marcus and Esca, beyond the Wall.

    Summary

    “How old are you, comrade?” the man asks, instead of answering him.
    “Nineteen, sir,” Dmitry answers dutifully. The man has a gun at his hip and a temper. Better not provoke him if he doesn’t want to end up with a bullet between the eyes.
    “I take it you didn’t fight during the Great War.”
    “I was locked at Tsarskoye Selo with all the other servants before I was of age,” he replies with what can only described as a mocking smirk. Then, after a pause, “sir.”

    (Dmitry is the kitchen boy in exil with the Romanovs. That's only the beginning of his story, if the end of theirs.)
