    Summary

    "The sea licks against their cabin windows and pitches the ship like a child’s ball, and Preston Moray clings to her and whispers promises he can’t possibly keep into her oil-black hair." Vera Moray receives offers and adoration from any man she wants, and her husband will take her to any corner of the Isles she desires. It is not enough.

    Summary

    "She cannot see the years in the seasons outside. She can see them, only, in the way she forgets color: the blue of a child’s dead skin, the red of blood, the white of bone in hand and heretical bone above the bed. It was not supposed to be like this." Sight is among the least important of things stolen from the sisters of the Oracular Order.

    Summary

    "In Tyvia, he takes the skin of a man with gills and claws and scales upon his brow and winds his way down to the docks to share cigars with fishermen. He listens to them laugh. Laughs when they call him “grandfather” without an ounce of true belief, and he takes the cigars of the ones who do believe and blows the fire back into their lungs." Men throughout the Isles and beyond them believe they know the Outsider, and he changes his appearance and his gifts to suit their fear and worship. None of them truly understand.
