    Summary

    But no, she was here at Caleb’s shitty table, across from Essek, who’s boring holes into the rough-hewn wood with downcast eyes. The thing about Essek, she muses, was that he felt that he was so indebted to the Nein that he was willing to do almost anything to avoid being an inconvenience. Which might, she thinks, be sort of toxic.

    Summary

    Caleb Widogast is going to perish right here in the warmly lit library of his own mind’s creation, and the cause will be Essek—deep in thought, pale brows furrowed —and the way he keeps touching his fucking mouth as he thinks.

    Summary

    His body feels strange. There had been many scenarios vivid in his mind when he had woven his Teleportation spell with shaking fingers, but he finds himself realizing that somehow, all of them had included Caleb putting his hands on Essek’s shoulders.

    Caleb, concerned and serious, a tenseness to his brow as he reinforces his wards and asks Essek if he was followed. Caleb, frustration in the set of his jaw, asking Essek why he had not come sooner. Caleb, soft-mouthed, guiding him to the closest chair.

    When the room instead is quiet and dark, and then keeps staying quiet and dark, he finds it suddenly difficult to keep standing.

    Summary

    There are hands on his face, and the man before him is kneeling, half-crawled into his hiding place. He has a good face, maybe. Red hair. Warm-colored lights hover around him.
