    Summary

    Aemond Targaryen returns from Shipbreaker Bay hailed as a victor and kinslayer both. As the court feasts and jeers in his honour, he finds himself an outcast among his own kin, his mother withdrawn, his brother drunk on power, and his father’s ghost staring down from stone. But beneath the wine and laughter, the walls remember the storm. The taste of blood has not yet left the air, and before dawn, the gods will balance the scales.

    Summary

    Nobody seemed to think there was anything strange about her when she came out of Josh's office--she was often in the office for extended periods after long pow-wows with Josh, carrying out instructions or gathering information--and after the first ten minutes or so, she stopped wondering if she smelled like her boss had gone down on her.

    Summary

    “I want her name.”

    “Well, nephew, you can hear for yourself, they call her The Puppetmaster-“

    “No,” he cuts his Uncle off as he watches her walk back into the fighter’s quarters, casually flipping a wave of brown hair over her shoulder.

    He marvels a little at the length- there’s an impracticality to it that’s strange for pit fighters- not to mention this heat.

    She doesn’t bother waving to her fans.

    She has no need- they’re hooked.

    As he takes another look around at the signs they’ve made for her- fans still screaming and crying for her recognition- he realizes with dawning horror that they haven’t used dyed ink at all.
    It’s blood that they’ve used to paint on their signs- an homage to her and her twisted gift.

    “I want her real name.”

    Summary

    “How did we not notice them?” She tore her gaze away from the display, scrutinising the dimly lit faces of the men gathered around. In their eyes, Arafa could find only grim confusion. There was no answer. Something else had happened. House Harkonnen was not acting alone, as if that was not already obvious from the boldness of this incursion.
    The Keep shuddered beneath her. She faintly registered that her bare feet were getting cold, but pushed the sensation aside. Only minutes had passed since she had left her chambers. Those minutes had been enough. She could see quite clearly that, no matter what plan they would be able to piece together, the outcome was already determined.
    Arrakis was being invaded by House Harkonnen, and there was nothing she could do.
