Summary
Astarion has killed Cazador Szarr. It should have been the happiest day of his life, but when he decides to complete the ritual and ascend, not one of his new-found friends will help him. Even Divarra, the one person to whom he has bared his soul, refuses him. Embittered, he turns away from them and tries to make a life for himself in the shadows.However, life for a solitary spawn is not easy, and Astarion finds himself unable to let go.
No longer certain she made the right decision, Divarra is racked with guilt. She still wants to help Astarion fulfill his dream of walking in the sun.
Can they find a way to forgive each other? And will Astarion find his way back into the light?‘I can do this,’ he says, ‘but I need your help. Your eyes, so to speak. Use the parasite, show me the scars on my back so I can carve them into his flesh, so I can do to him what he did to me.’
Szarr whimpers and Astarion looks down at him with contempt. It is hard to reconcile the pitiful creature grovelling before him, with the cruel master who tormented him for almost two hundred years.
‘No,’ Divarra says. ‘I’m not doing this.’Series
