    Summary

    In 1492 DR, after the fall of Bhaal’s favourite daughter and the rise of a new Chosen in her stead, a storm grips the city of Baldur’s Gate.

    The fraught alliance between the Churches of Bane and Bhaal is tested further during a private meeting at Wyrm’s Rock Fortress, where between loss and loosened tongues the unspeakable is asked, and threatens to sink both parties asunder.

    Father may have had His favourite, but He had given Orin a gift.

    Summary

    The House of Hope: high heels, higher stakes, and pole tricks that definitely violate OSHA standards. Tav thought she’d nailed the art of survival—fake tan applied, wig secured, choreography held together by duct tape and vibes—until her ex came back.

    Enver Gortash: rich, smug, and fully convinced that obsessive devotion is foreplay. He’s back in her orbit, waving money like it’s romance, and auditioning hard for “sugar daddy of the year.”

    Featuring: glitter-related war crimes, fake tan emergencies, Astarion being Astarion, and a workplace where HR is just Raphael with a martini.

    It’s drama. It’s chaos. It’s moral compromise in six-inch perspex heels. Welcome to The House of Hope. Try to keep up.

    Summary

    Enver Gortash has been a follower of tyranny most of his life and he's learned that, sometimes, calculated submission can be the most useful tool of all.

    Enver’s first thought when he actually met the Bhaalspawn that he’d been searching out was that she looked so… innocent.

    It was the furthest thing from the truth — she was the head assassin of the Bhaalist cult in Baldur’s Gate, and the genesis of the most bloody murders that he’d had his people sniff out — but appearances were incredibly deceiving, in this case.

    “You’ve been looking for me,” she said, and she had to tilt her chin up to fix her gaze onto his. Her eyes were dark and bottomless, though perhaps the lack of light was to blame. “My father is not fond of Banites. Speak your purpose so that I might decide whether or not to kill you.

    Summary

    In Moonrise Towers, just hours before Orin’s betrayal, the Dark Urge prays to Bhaal for forgiveness. Looking back on her life, she feels only shame, not so certain she is to blame for every dark desire she has ever chased.

    “Do you feel it?” she whispered, voice shredded. “Every time I breathe you in, He rots me more. Every time you touch me, I think maybe I’m alive, and then He reminds me I’m not. I’m dead, Enver. I’m fucking dead.”
