When Zathos returned, it was without the usual silence Eni had come to expect of the monster. She heard its approach even before she...

As they passed beyond the crumbling remains of Idrun's wall, the terrain quickly became hilly and treacherously rocky, but the oppressive...

Tsar didn't answer at once. He lifted his head and inhaled deeply, his nostrils flaring and his eyes closing. His face smoothed over, the...

Protests died on her lips as Zathos regarded her dispassionately with two of its eyes, the others looking at Tsar. "The outer walls were...

Eni took a half-step back, fumbling to raise her trident and point its prongs at the monster. Tsar's eyes narrowed, his arm steady as his...

Tsar had insisted on continuing after his leg was bandaged, but his pace was almost leisurely. Eni doubted anyone else would have been...

"In the name of the acting Lord Warden, your vessel is being seized for relief purposes," the soldier said wearily. The gondola was just...

Eni hadn't realized how much she had really missed the Archivist until she began telling him her story. Even as he was, bedridden and...
