    Chapter 5

    The logic behind untying a captive because they can't guard them is completely irrational.
  2. Modern cerulean blue is a darker and greener color than it was originally.

    What We Carry

    Jared and Cade are both stupid. An unloaded rifle is an expensive club. Even if they had seen those raidersbefore they announced themselves, Jared wouldn't have been able to get ammo fast enough. Cade wanting to go to Meridian to 'find the truth' is even dumber. And telling the truth now after the raiders is more toxic.

    Chapter 4

    They had to get a vehicle with no charging outlet. And now they kidnap a general's daughter. Like they'll never miss her.
  5. Older buildings often have elaborate filigree accents.
  6. Amelia was expecting Edward. There was no reason for her to be carrying so much gold. She's a most unlikely fence.
  7. Brumous beer didn't sound so bad until he saw it was nearly opaque.

    Chapter 3

    Naturally, it wouldn't be a fast charger.
  9. The robbery was executed with precision. The haul was staggering, but most so traceable it might as well still be in the bank. Some of it might be useful in short cons if carefully used. Either way they must head to London.

    Chapter 2

    They left with nothing and were too recognizable. Now they have clothing, weapons, and transportation. But how long can luck hold?
  11. Descry is another one I've never run across.
  12. Another layer of Edward's life has been revealed to Jonas and Will. As a ship's officer, he could reap a good fortune under a lucky captain taking prize ships.

    Safe Enough

    I knew it was a mistake for Jared to hide he had been with the raiders. Waiting has made it worse. Sable not being able to turn his ability off is a big problem. Someone will talk and an all out hunt will start. They should be running away from Meridian than toward it.
  14. John Barrymore's body was taken from the funeral home and placed in a chair in Flynn's living room as a prank. Flynn made an unheroic scream. This inspired similar dead body scenes in Weekend at Bernie's and S.O.B.
  15. In his final years, actor John Barrymore lived as a guest in Errol Flynn's house. He habitually peed out the closest window, so much so all the window sills had to be revarnished.
  16. With the horse, Brewster left another beautiful gift to bridge both time and death between him and Augustus. They have finally consummated their bond properly as they have wanted to for so long.
  17. And at the moment, very handy.
  18. Actually, the ones I found were quite nice.

    Chapter 1

    The foolish desire of Rade to sacrifice himself to save a dead city state was overruled by his last Highguard. Now Rade and his two young protectors will have to thread what has become an eye of a needle.

    Prologue

    Shem has arrived at this capital city at the brink of its fall. The hollowing out has begun at the center. Tair should be called Despair. This is a place to flee before the blood starts flowing like water. Shem seems to be the catalyst for the last remnant of power to leave while no one is looking. He is a most unlikely savior or hero, and his sheer veneer of ordinary is a shield of invisiblity.
  21. I had to search for them, but there are hotels using g sojourn in the name.
  22. It's too darn cold out in the privy to be shivering the timbers. At least this last comedy has pulled Jonax out of his black ass.

    What We Aim At

    The lesson with the rifle revealed part of Jared's past. Cade knows now Jared is like him and Jared can see Cade's own interest in him. Cade can also see Jared exhibiting the same protectiveness he has toward Sable. They have already formed a family unit. Now they must tread the uncertain ground of the first outside settlement Cade an d Sable have seen. I think Jared should have schooled them more on what to expect and what not to share.
  24. And I didn't actually know any of them. I never said there weren't any.
