    Summary

    “I have a proposal for you,” Dottore says.

    Pantalone swirls the wine in his glass, waiting a moment to see if he follows up with more substantial details on that vague declaration. “And does this proposal necessitate coming onto this trip, rather than submitting the usual forms to my office?”

    “It does, particularly as it pertains to the matter of my will.”

    ---

    Precisely three months after the unfortunate incident on his life, it’s time for Pantalone to get back to field work.

    A matter involving poisoned Fire-Water and millions of unclaimed Mora emerges in Novokitezhgrad, sending him and Dottore on a lengthy train journey to investigate.

    Summary

    "You should see a doctor," Dottore said, his voice low and precise, cutting through the muffled quiet of the snowfall.

    The man's eyes opened. They were violet—a shade Dottore had never seen before, like amethyst catching light. For a moment, they simply stared at each other.

    "I have," the man said finally. His voice was smooth, cultured, with an edge of exhaustion. "They've done what they can."

    "Then you should see a better doctor."

    _____

    They never spoken before, until one evening.

    Summary

    “Feofan,” the Tsaritsa speaks. He meets her eyes, her beautiful, benevolent eyes suddenly so full of . . . guilt. She stands, and the Harbingers straighten their backs, hands already over their hearts. Feofan can only continue to lean against Pierro, but he bows his head still. Gracefully, she climbs down the stairs, until she’s right in front of him.

    She cups his tear-streaked cheek, and says, “I’m sorry, my child. My beautiful Feofan.”

    Feofan asks the Tsaritsa to kill him.

    Summary

    These two have stolen my every thought and spot as favorite ship. I have always liked them but now I am obsessed.

It is a religious and legal requirement in Islamic marriage. it is practiced in Arab, Persian, South Asian, and Central Asian Muslim communities.

    Rated E. You've been warned.

    "How long," Feofan said.

    "Two hundred and seventeen years," Zandik said. "Give or take."

    Feofan looked at the henna book, open on the table. At the ribbon marking a specific page.

    "And the pattern," he said.

    "One hundred and forty."

    Feofan closed his eyes. Behind his eyelids the room glowed amber. The smoke from the hookah moved through the warm air and settled around him like something that had been waiting a very long time to do exactly this.

    "You are," he said, very carefully, "the most deranged man who has ever lived."

    "Yes," Zandik said.
