  1. Now I am getting the Urge to set the next Vega Vixen in a Denver Megastore, where employee's pee breaks are charged by the milliliter
  2. Denver Corp would like to remind you, to shop Denver Megastore.
  3. Agreed, Isaiah was right to teach the three Cs to Dimitri. managing the illness needs effort from all of them. The question being, can they get to Mickey first, before those less understanding can.
  4. Yeah, Isaiah's earned this, he's been through two years or more of Mickey chaos at this point. And given his own background with the New Eden cult, he's resilient. Now he just needs to get Mickey back where he can get some kind of treatment.

    Chapter 11

    rereading it, Stephen used the pommel of his sword to knock teeth in twice, and a kit-shield. The mace he only used to break the lock on the cage. So I think Ashot's technically right. it's unclear in the final battle as well if Stephen used the mace to kill anyone, he's too busy keeping people from killing him and Ashot again, shield.

    I believe he did. He picked up the mace during the whole rescue mission for the Patriarch. Did I screw something up ?
  7. I really, with this book, wanted to explore where Mickey's disaster stems from. And the impact his chaos has on the people that love him. Bipolar disorder is vicious to everyone that endures it. But Isaiah loves Mickey very much, and isn't giving up, and ensuring Dimitri has stability no matter what is his gift to that family. It's nice to see how Isaiah changes things in both Dimitri and Mickey's life. He's tired, he's stressed out, but he stays.
  8. The biolab smelled like old textbooks, alien plant specimens, and the faint, lingering ghost of whatever the Gremlin had been eating when it thought no one was looking. Dimitri Ryder-Bell sat at the main workstation, his chin propped on his hand, his glasses sliding down his nose for the third time in as many minutes. The holographic display in front of him showed a detailed diagram of a xenobiological respiratory system—something about atmospheric adaptation in low-oxygen environments—but

    This is Wylan in a nutshell. He has never wanted crowns, titles, lands, or gold. All he has ever wanted was that wall of a man that he loves and who loves him. Convincing Darien of this is his next challenge.

    Chapter 11

    There's a scene of this in the book. Raymond of Tolouse whipping up fervor again, and trying to get the whole army to march without armour, and barefoot to meet the enemy, because "God will protect them" Raymond was insane.

    Chapter 11

    Wylan isn't about to be constrained by prophecy, and there is a MASSIVE catch in the prophecy. Wylan just has to convince Darien that there are things more important than crowns.

    There's a reason I gave them the chapter header photo. They are so much the heart of this particular volume

    It's also good to show that beneath all of Ashot's bravado, and swagger, he's deeply scarred, and that Stephan holds his world together. Stephen needs Ashot to challenge his shyness. And Ashot needs Stephen's steady dependability and reassurance.

    Chapter 11

    There is a price for victory. It should be noted that Godfrey is Baldwin of Edessa's brother. The remaining Crusader Lords are a nest of vipers, and all of them know that Darien and his Vanguard are the Kingmaker for the crown of Jerusalem. But while Darien is trying to protect his own, Wylan is not going to stand by and allow him to die. Wylan is a mighty little magi, and he isn't about to be drowned by prophecy, not when it comes to the man he loves.

    Chapter 11

    Raymond of Tolouse's butchery at Marrat al'Numen was a warcrime. It changed everything, and bode a stark warning for what would happen If HIS madness was unleashed on Palestine. Darien's most dangerous enemy is not the Vizier, the Witches, or the shadow of Kalijj Arslan. It's a man with a rusted piece of iron.

    Chapter 11

    good morning. "He will drown in dust!" The prophecy revealed.
  17. The winter that descended upon the high, jagged peaks of the Judean mountains was not merely a season; it was an absolute, physical assault. Freezing, relentless sheets of rain battered the ancient limestone walls of Bethlehem day and night, turning the narrow, winding streets of the town into treacherous rivers of freezing mud and human refuse. The sky remained a solid, bruised iron-gray for weeks on end, completely suffocating the warmth of the sun and plunging the world into a state of

    The Gathering

    Poitr has a point, Flynn doesn't have any friends, he doesn't know what friendship looks like. It also gave Gary a chance to explain how important to Poitr Flynn is. I love Gary, he's just such a good friend to the boys.

    The Gathering

  20. The day was gone when Flynn finally looked up from his laptop. He'd been deep in Seraphina Vale's SEC filings for the past three hours, tracing the web of shell companies and subsidiary holdings that connected her green energy empire to a network of FBMI contracts, offshore accounts, and at least one front company that appeared to exist solely to purchase industrial-grade copper resonance coils—the same coils diagrammed in Frank's blueprint. His eyes were burning. His neck was stiff. His c

    If it counts, this negotiation saves lives. Though no one is ever going to hear about it if Steffy has his way.
  22. Isaiah and Dimitri are on their way. They just need to catch up.
