Summary
Jester says, “You made a greenhouse,” and Essek looks up.
Palms and figs and mangroves and tree ferns reach up for the ceiling, and a sourceless waterfall spills through them. The walkway spirals upward, clinging impossibly to the dangling roots of a banyan tree, and vanishes into the greenery. Everywhere there are flowers — dusky pink orchids and brilliant bromeliads, violet and yellow and red.
Essek takes a shaky breath. “I’ll show you your rooms.”

Summary
When Beauregard asks for Dairon's help freeing a friend held captive by the Cerberus Assembly, they agree, expecting a rescue mission to clear the way to bring down Trent Ikithon for good. But when they meet Essek Thelyss in the depths of the Vergesson Sanatorium, they discover that Beauregard hasn't told them everything.
As the clock runs down and Dairon and Essek find themselves in a game of wits not only with the Assembly but with each other, they must find a way to trust each other--or risk neither of them making it out alive.

Summary
He stopped several paces back and, incongruously, bowed. “Frau Ermendrud,” he said, speaking quietly. “It is my great pleasure to meet you.” She could not place his accent. Coastal, maybe? “I am Bren’s partner.”
In which Ludinus wants the Nein extra distracted for the solstice, and does something about it.

Summary
As Essek and Caleb grow closer in Aeor, Essek is forced to confront the challenges that their differing sleep schedules present.
Caleb views this less as a challenge, and more as an excuse to have his way with Essek in the middle of the night, before returning to sleep until morning.

Summary
“Oh,” Essek says, and a tremulous smile comes to his mouth. “That’s wonderful. You, ah.” He licks his lips. “You understand what happened?”
Caleb nods. “Ja. Clone spell. I don’t – things are a little blurry. But I . . . must have died?”
A ripple passes across Essek’s face. “You did,” he says quietly, with a rasp to his voice. “Just now.” He swallows audibly. “I barely made it here in time."
