  1. Summary

    After the defeat of the Evanuris, Emmrich Volkarin and Lucanis Dellamorte find their lives intertwined.

    Series title from Wine, by Pierre Martory

    The flowers I planted along my road
    Have lasted long despite winds and cold
    Already fiery noons begin to burn
    Slyly the secret of the roots
    And I know that of my footsteps nothing will remain
    But a trace a cluster a drop
    To recall along the paths I’ve chosen
    Those evening when the light sang
    In eyes hands hearts and goblets.

    Summary

    Hob had first stumbled upon, and then been dragged into this whole esoteric business. The chance of sating both his wanderlust and his loneliness had been to good to pass, and there he'd gone - Faking it until he'd made it. Conning this secret society at leisure, posing as the immortal Count of St. Germain. For once, he didn't have to lie about his age...

    ... And their books let him search for an echo of his Stranger in their lines. He'd keep his distance, he swore. But the loss of the one place he could return to always, the distress of this place being a person-- It had hit him hard.

    ----

    (Or, Hob Gadling learns first hand why you don't impersonate another immortal, the perils of cult mentality, and why calling your Stranger your North Star isn't platonic. Not at all.)

    Summary

    Only a very few people in the world know that the celebrated and reclusive poet Jack Allen is just Kansas mechanic Dean Winchester, a high school dropout with a few bucks to his name. Not that it matters anymore; life has left him so wrung out he never wants to pick up another pen.

    Until, that is, a string of coincidences leads Dean to audit a poetry course with one Dr. Castiel Novak. The professor is wildly intelligent, devastatingly handsome...and just so happens to be academia's foremost expert on the poetry of Jack Allen.

    Summary

    Scott and Jaal both have a lot to learn. Or: seven conversations. (Or: Scott Ryder does some recreational flirting, blesses a baby, and makes several mistakes that somehow cancel each other out.)

    “No,” Scott says slowly. “Our cows stay on the ground. I kind of want to see an angaran cow now, though.”

    “They’re rainbow-colored,” Jaal says. “They have long hair that angaran children like to brush and braid. When you make true friends with an angaran cow, they let you cut the braids off to wear as arm accessories.”

    “You’re messing with me,” Scott says, delighted.

    Summary

    “There are only two truths around here. Any man can be king for a night,” the younger man says with a wry grin and long drawl, sliding cards from the card shoe into tidy rows in front of himself and Hannibal. “But by the morning, the house always wins.”

    ---

    An investigation into the deaths of casino hostesses in Las Vegas is made more interesting by a strange card dealer with an uncanny skill at reading guests at his table. Hannibal investigates the depth of his skill, and the card player surprises him with how truly acute it is.
