    Summary

    Falsely accused of conducting espionage against the Dynasty on the orders of Trent Ikithon, Caleb is imprisoned in the Dungeon of Penance. The evidence against him is compelling, and it quickly becomes apparent that the distinction between "active scourger" and "almost scourger" will not be enough to save him. Caleb can only endure.

    Caught between duty and friendship, Essek can do nothing to prevent Caleb from being tortured for information that he may not even possess. Essek can only watch, and hope that he has an opportunity to ease at least some of his friend's suffering.

    Each chapter fills one of the daily prompts from the "April is the Cruellest Month" challenge.

    Summary

    Essek wanted to escape a snare of his own making and wrench Aeor's arcane secrets from the city's depths. But suddenly he finds himself at a literal loss for words, entrapped in an anti-magic field with a treasure trove of ancient magic and a fascinating stranger - a human hedge wizard, Caleb Widogast, who he cannot stop thinking about.

    Summary

    If Essek were to kill Caleb, he would do it with a spell.

    None of the intimate agony of feeling the last flutters of his heart with his own skin. He cannot even afford himself the painful honesty of knowing that if he were to do it, it would be impersonal and practiced, something Essek has done to many before and will do to many others. This knowledge is not enough to stop him imagining it.

    In the months following the events of Cognouza and the Somnovem, Essek fails to come to terms with the fact that he is a dangerous man.

    Summary

    It’s not like Caleb hasn’t thought about it. He’s thought about it a little too much, if anything: what would happen in a situation in which the variables were only Essek, himself, some privacy, and their mutual willingness to explore each other. In that scenario, he wasn’t even asking for a bed.
