    Summary

    "You, my boy, have been arranged a playdate.”

    Qifrey stops.

    “With young Easthies. Captain Vinanna’s new apprentice. Lovely boy, very sharp, very—” Beldaruit waves a hand, searching for the word and apparently not finding one he liked. “Discliplined. He’s disciplined a great deal. I thought, what a fine thing, two young apprentices, similar ages, similar circumstances—”

    “I don’t want to.”

    ~

    Forced to spend an afternoon together by their masters, a young Qifrey and Easthies discover that they have absolutely nothing in common. This does not stop them from stumbling into an adventure.

    Summary

    Coco’s heart thunders in her chest. Something is going to break through that wall, she thinks hysterically.
    She would rather be going mad than believe that something in this house — the house she travelled halfway across the world to for shelter — is hunting her. Because that is what it feels like; she is a small animal hiding from a terrible beast.

    A ship carries a solitary young woman across the ocean to an unfamiliar country. She is an exile, in more ways than one, and seeks the help of a witch and the shelter of his manor. But although he takes her in from the cold the witch has his own secrets and his own ghosts. And there is something in his manor that creeps in the night and Coco is half-sure it is even more dangerous than the past she is running from.

    The ghosts of Qifrey's atelier are hungry.

    Summary

    His fright at the thought that Coco might have been in danger when he woke up was heart-stopping. The feeling he had when he thought he’d forgotten one of the simplest spells in his collection was….something else. Like a vice around his throat. A garotte of terror.

    Olruggio can't claim to be the picture of perfect health and wellbeing, but things are getting strange. He's forgetting stuff - stuff that he really shouldn't be forgetting. And he doesn't know why.

    Summary

    Qifrey didn't give off the impression that he was physically strong. On the contrary, he looked like a frail ice prince—a character in those fairy tales Olruggio had read about when he was young.

    Or, Olruggio struggles to come to terms with Qifrey's not-so-hidden strength. In the process of it, he uncovers a rather concerning truth about himself.

    Summary

    "Listen, I thought we'd agreed: I keep myself busy, you keep yourself worried."

    "Well maybe I'm tired of worryin'."

    Qifrey just glared, sort of weary, agitated, and composed all at once.

    "That is not an option."

     

    Olruggio's got a Silverwood tree growing in him. This changes everything, and very little.
