    “Does this actually work?” Nile asks, sounding dubious.

    “He’s using the eyelashes,” Booker says, sitting back in his chair. “It’ll work.”

    Summary

    “I don’t get it.” Nile still sits like soldiers do, knees wide for range of motion, ready to rock up onto the balls of her feet. Camo pants or chain mail, they all teach the same tricks. “She’s young. She could live — fifty more years, easy. I don’t —”

    She stops.

    Joe waits a minute, in case she wants to continue. Then he offers, “You’re talking about retirement.”

    Summary

    ‘Daydreaming like a maiden on the eve of her wedding.’

    ‘That’s hardly daydreaming if it’s the eve of her wedding.’

    ‘But you don’t deny you were dreaming. Or being a maiden.’

    ‘I deny all. Especially the latter. Or do you forget so quickly collapsing that tent on Yusuf and I so we’d cease—’

    A glimpse of how Nicky and Quynh's friendship might have formed.

    Summary

    The thing was, Nile absolutely trusted Nicky with her life. He was ride or die. He’d made her feel safe and welcome from the night they met. 

    He also made her feel intensely awkward, because she had no idea how to interact with him.

    Summary

    Set after Tower of Nero:
    Newly single, Leo is dismayed to learn that Nico is coming to live at the Waystation. It's all too much as Leo feels more and more unwanted, not needed, and unloved. There's nothing to lose when he tries to become friends with the son of Hades.

    Nico doesn't want to be at the Waystation. He *wants* to find a way to Tartarus to help Bob. Why does he keep hearing the Titan? He'll stop at nothing to help his friend, with or without Leo's help. But, it looks like he's stuck at the Waystation (and in therapy sessions with Dionysus) until he's able to figure out a way to get to Tartarus.

    What dangers await the pair of demigods and what will they discover about each other along the way?
