    Abi is drawing when Emma finds her--and drawing Emma, at that. After she sees it, Emma insists on Abi letting her try her hand at drawing her. It... doesn't work out. But it DOES lead to other, better things. Things Abi has been fantasizing about since camp started.

    Summary

    Emma hated the outdoors, especially during summer. It’s hot and dirty (not in the fun way) and her blessed height became a curse as mosquitoes swarmed her like ravenous tornadoes. The opportunity to show some skin was almost never worth the exhaustion and sweat stains. So she had no idea why she decided to become a counsellor at Hackett’s Quarry Summer Camp.

    She gets an idea after stumbling upon a cute girl sketching the scenery, and suddenly being outdoors wasn’t so bad.

    Summary

    Eight years have passed since Blackwater, Saint Denis, and the fall of the van der Linde gang. The survivors are trying to make a life for themselves – some moving on to nobler pursuits, some circling back like carrion birds to the scores they left behind.

    And outside a town called Purgatory, West Elizabeth, a man wakes up without a scrap of memory or a name, haunted by a black wolf and a golden stag.

    Summary

    She has traced Vi’s scars with her fingers and lips, innumerable, uncounted, and knows that so few are from fair fights; she sees the way Vi always rolls her right shoulder, stiff from a poorly-fixed dislocation, and knows that whatever supposed crime Vi has been unjustly punished for has been visited upon her ten times in kind.

     

     

     

     

    Caitlyn’s chest aches. She wishes she could make her mother understand. She wishes she didn’t have to defend Vi; she wishes someone had defended her all those years ago.

    Summary

    Rummaging through her pockets, Vi finds one of Powder’s hairpins. She bends it out, only meaning to kill time, but ends up crouched in front of the lock, making a real go of it.

     

     

     

    “What do you think you’re doing?” a man’s voice booms from behind her.

     

    “Breaking into a rich girl’s place.” Vi clicks her tongue, concentration lost. “Mind your own business.”

     

    “Call the police. Now,” a woman’s voice joins.

     

    Sighing, Vi pushes herself to her feet and says, “Calm down. My girlfriend lives here.”

     

    She turns, jerks her thumb at the door, and freezes. Before her are two strangers she’s caught glimpses of dozens of times: Caitlyn’s mother and father, caricatures of their own photographs. Vi can’t tell if it’s disbelief or horror on their faces, or if it’s worth discerning between the two. Caitlyn’s mother holds out her phone, thumb hovering over 9.

     

    “Shit,” Vi says.
