Summary
“Tell me what you were doing with the Hexcore. And… everything that came before.”
“Would you believe me if I said I was trying to protect you?”
Viktor returns to Piltover after years of exile with one certainty: he's dying.
Old wounds reopen when Viktor discovers Jayce has rebuilt the very thing he once betrayed Viktor over. Outrage blooms, but so too, do new possibilities—ones that uncover a dangerous connection between magic, ambition, and the looming Gray.
As they attempt to mend their fractured partnership, Jayce grapples with the part he has played in Piltover's fervent pursuit of progress—and in Viktor's continuing deterioration. They confront truths they've hidden from themselves as well as one another: desires long buried, sacrifices made in desperation, and how far either of them will go for love.
Some lies protect us, others destroy us—but the hardest ones to overcome are the lies we tell ourselves.

Summary
“So, run it by me one more time.”
Vi paced the length of the room with her chin pinched firmly between her fingers. She had been tracing a wide oval on the floor, her boots clanking heavily with every step. They had been over the plan several times already, Viktor lamented soundlessly, but he understood her nerves. Ekko, who was busy spinning himself in one of Viktor’s office chairs, slowed to a stop with an exaggerated groan, dragging the toe of his shoes along Viktor’s floor. “Vi, how many more times are you gonna make us—”
“Until it’s perfect, Ekko.” Vi interrupted brusquely. “Everyone needs to be on the same page about what they’re doing, where they’re supposed to be, and what we’re after. We’re not gonna get another shot at this for months if we fail.”

OR: The kids from Zaun have a plan—find whatever Jayce Talis has been working on and steal it. The Progress Day Gala is the perfect opportunity to do so. The only issue? Viktor has to attend to "present" his research to Heimerdinger. He should be in and out quickly—just long enough to get Vi into place and dip. If all goes smoothly, he'll never have to interact with Jayce Talis at all. Simple, right?

Summary
After graduating from the Academy, Viktor is forced to return to Zaun. Without a patron to finance his projects, he lives off his scams for seven years, forging documents to swindle wealthy Piltovian families so he can focus on his research. But one day, Cassandra Kiramman gives him a mission : to travel to Ionia to convince Jayce Talis to return to Piltover. However, here's the catch : contrary to what Cassandra believes, Viktor and Jayce never as much as interacted when they were students. But for the right amount of money and to protect his own secrets, Viktor is willing to take any risk and to play the part... So well that he might even deceive himself in the process.

Summary
The Herald lives in an old clocktower on the edge of the Undercity, where he keeps a watchful eye turned upon those in need. The people both respect and fear him, for while he brings hope to the sick, he is also no longer entirely human.
Piltover is on the cusp of welcoming its new king to the throne, but Jayce is a man haunted by regrets and determined to shake the foundation of the kingdom’s old way of ruling. Not all agree with his new direction.
The king-to-be makes an offer to the Herald.
