Summary
Drow are quite inconveniently sensitive to daylight. Essek considers it a burden to both himself and his traveling companions.
When fighting off an onslaught of light-sensitive Aeorian spiders, Essek has to confront the fact that the Nein might not consider him an inconvenience at all.
———
The spiders pressed in further. Essek gave a flippant gesture with one arm, to the tune of ‘just do it already—I am not so fragile.’
‘Fajar’, Caleb said as he relented, hoisting the orb into the air. The driftglobe exploded like the sun itself.

Summary
“Essek?”
Essek lifts his head, and much of the hunter’s throat comes up with him. His mouth and chin are drenched in blood and his eyes are big and shine lamp-like. The bullet hole in his stomach is still gently sizzling. When he looks at Caleb, a little recognition lights up his face, but not much. He blinks, a mite of tension leaves his shoulders, and he goes back to drinking from the dead hunter.1892, Chicago.
Only a few years after their reunion, as they're barely re-igniting their relationship, Essek and Caleb run afoul of a vampire-hunter.Series

Summary
“My father explained my delusion. ‘This fox is dead’, he told me, ‘it may not seem so, but once the frost melts it will rot like anything else.’ I found this untenable at the time. But now I wonder, if nature is capable of suspending a creature between life and death, how will humans inevitably attempt the same?”
Relentlessly, thinks Caleb. And without any thought for the soul.
“Curious,” murmurs Thelyss. “Have you witnessed any practical experiments upon this theory?”
“No,” he lies.
Caleb hears word of a scholar, one who lives alone. It is unwise to knock on the door of a man known to be a cold host, but Caleb is desperate and has little to lose. He enters thinking there cannot be anything more monstrous inside but himself. However, he soon sees and experiences what he believed was found only on the pages of folktales.Series
