    Summary

    Davrin thought of a thousand things he could have said, after the fact. He thought of clever rejoinders and flirtatious backtalk and all manner of excellent lines, but all that he could say, all that he longed to say from a bone-deep conviction that banished any doubt, was merely this:
    'Please.'

    Summary

    In November of 2011, Leon and Luis are living a tentatively pleasant life together in a small apartment in downtown Boston, with Leon working for the newly-established DSO and Luis having stepped away from the world of bioterrorism to teach organismal biology at Northeastern University. Life is as fraught as it always is, but it's been a uniquely bearable last few years. When Luis mysteriously vanishes without a word one evening, Leon is forced to team up with Claire, who he hasn't seen or spoken to in eight years, in hopes of tracking him down and bringing him home.

    A web of fear and distrust spins itself beneath the pair, and every new step forward calls into question everything Leon thought he knew about Luis. Determined to find out the truth and get to Luis before it's too late, Leon follows each thread as far as it will go, and finds that each one leads back to a place he hoped he'd left behind for good: Spain, 2004.

    Summary

    Ali found his mind racing back over recent conversations, wondering what Muntadhir might be preparing to talk to him about. Had his poor timing angered one of their supporters at the court? Had he managed to offend another Daeva nobleman with his stumbling Divasti? Had his latest tax proposal gone too far and upset the balance they were trying to create between the tribes? He found himself tensing as Muntadhir opened his mouth to speak.

    “Why haven’t you married Nahri yet?”

    —

    Five years after the events of The Empire of Gold, Muntadhir sits Ali down for a conversation. They could both benefit from each other's support.
