Summary
Apropos of nothing, Ren remembered the strange night he’d spent at the old community centre, when the glyphs on the walls had deciphered themselves before his eyes, and he’d felt otherworldly breath on the nape of his neck. “Er—have you mentioned your name—?”
“Oh, what a heathen I am,” said the man. “It’s Martyn. With a Y, make sure you get that right.” As Ren watched, he popped another strawberry into his mouth and chewed, all grinning recalcitrance. “And you’re Ren, the new farmer. Of course I know. Everyone’s talking about you.”
Ren's just moved to the Valley, and the farm he inherited is a mess. Fortunately, he's got a not-quite-human farmhand to help out.

Summary
“Look,” said Martyn. “I don’t want to explain myself, or talk to anybody, and if someone tries to take my picture I’ll kill them.”
He glanced over his shoulder, into the fir-lined drive below the ski lodge. Ren said, “Okay.”
“I just,” Martyn said, “need somewhere to sleep. Just for a few days.”
“Okay,” said Ren again. He would have given Martyn the world, if only it were still his to give. “I can do that.”
Ren hasn't gone anywhere. He hasn't been anywhere for a long time. He's learning that the only thing worse than being in a death game is not being in the death game—at least, until Martyn comes calling.

Summary
“It was just—shadows and whispers, at first," Martyn said. "I could walk right through them. But the more I listened, the stronger they grew.” He scrubbed a hand across his face. “It’s my fault, I reckon, a lot of it.”
Ren pulled him closer, needing to feel something warm and real. “It’s not.”
“I always knew it wasn’t really you. They’d get your voice wrong, or the way you walked or held your sword. But sometimes—”
“Yeah?”
“Sometimes I’d play along,” said Martyn, toneless and faraway. “Indulge them. It was better than not having you at all.”
The winner of the last death game has gone missing. Ren goes looking for him. But there are other things searching for Martyn, too—things that look like Ren, that wear his face and speak with his voice, and it isn't always easy to tell them apart.

Summary
Everyone knew that vampires don't exist. Zombies and skeletons? You could see the evidence of them everywhere once the sun went down. Vampires? They were merely things of legend.
Except here Martyn was, face to face with one: his own king, a damn vampire.
