    Summary

    The celebrations last well into the night when we return to Twelve.

    It’s the first time Twelve has had a Victor since me.

    It’s the first time any district has ended the games without at least one coffin being unloaded from the train.

    ***

    Katniss, Peeta and Haymitch return to Twelve after the 74th Hunger Games. Haymitch has a lot of feelings about it.

    Summary

    Magic connected a caster to the world. Mages who reach for connection, but try to pull that in – to refuse attachments – grew plants. Eventually, the growth would choke them. It was foolish. That didn’t stop the roots from digging deep, the green from flourishing, and the petals from choking his breath ever since the ship.

    Essek’s scorpion grass bloomed in tiny, powder blue flowers, and marked him as damned.

    Summary

    The men knew Hogan looked after them—more than was typical of a commander and his crew. It was in the little things, the details of everyday life, yet sometimes it struck them in undeniable ways. They saw Colonel Hogan as more than a commanding officer, and knew, somehow, that he saw them differently too.

    Summary

    Essek is lucky to be alive.

    It can be hard to believe, with the scars he now bears. The Mighty Nein turned on him at the close of the war, and he barely escaped with his life. He defied fate to be here.

    At least, that is what Ludinus Da'leth told him, when he offered Essek shelter in exchange for his particular expertise. Essek's own recollection is—

    Fraught.
