Summary
“Oh, ah. Hallo.”
Essek startles so badly he drops his levitation. He whips around, a hand thrown reflexively out to defend himself, a spell ready on his lips. He has to blink. And blink again. But no, he is not imagining this. Here is Caleb Widogast in the flesh, standing in Jester and Fjord's sitting room.
“Hello,” Essek manages, his throat very dry.
[Or: Four times Dynasty fugitive Essek Thelyss sought refuge with Jester Lavorre, and one time he found Caleb Widogast instead.]

Summary
In the north of the Empire, there's a town with an infamously grim past and an unrivaled celebration of the dead. It’s the ideal spot for two visitors from the Menagerie Coast to stroll through fallen leaves, sip a hot cider, and listen to a ghost story.
And as Jester learns, you can even get your fortune told—if you're willing to offer up your hands.
// This is a standalone version of a flashback from Seen Through the Deadlight. //

Summary
There's something in Caleb's dreams. It wants him to know that he's not alone. It wants him to know that he'll never be alone again.

Summary
The amber resided in a cage of twisted copper wire, which its creator had styled after a fisherman’s net. It looked like something Fjord had purchased secondhand on a distant island. Rustic. Unremarkable.
But if you peered closely into the pendant, as she had many times, you could see a yellow eye gazing back.
After a narrow escape at sea, Fjord finally accepts the truth: If he wants a future with Jester, he needs to confront his past. The journey will take the Mighty Nein through the winding alleys of Darktow, across the ballroom of an underwater palace, and into a hilltop temple shrouded in steam.
However, the Great Leviathan isn’t the only one watching them with plans for destruction and an appetite for revenge . . . .

Summary
"It’s a beautiful day at the Soltryce Academy—the sky is vibrant and the trees rustle with the gentlest of winds as Caleb begins his impromptu Transmutation lecture outside. From the building on the edge of the grounds he hears a muffled bell tolling for fifth period. Somewhere in the distance, a student begins to whistle.
At that moment, Caleb feels at peace.
At that moment, a Purple Worm bursts forth from the soil directly in front of him, and all of his plans for a pleasant afternoon are promptly dashed."
---
Caleb and Essek have finally settled down - more or less. While the beloved and somewhat eccentric Professor Widogast is busy inciting small student-scale riots and teaching tiny wizards morals, Essek spends his days lounging around the house, drinking wine and experimenting with the exotic concept of 'cooking his own meals'. They are pretty sure life is great - until two pre-teen assassins crash-land into the middle of the Soltryce Academy and demand the former Shadowhand be surrendered to their custody. What are the two internationally in/famous mages to do? The answer will shock absolutely no one.- Language:
