    Summary

    Felix’s face is wet. His hands are moving above Sylvain’s chest, one spell after another flickering out like a candle in a drafty room. Felix has always been terrible at healing. Sylvain blinks up at him, dazed.
    “Fe,” he says.
    “Don’t,” Felix grits out. “Don’t.”

    Summary

    He resents grief and its euphemisms and everyone’s anemic well-wishing. They all talk around the untenable, the unfixable problem. They say, take care of yourself. Get some rest. I’m here if you need me.

    Felix is dead. There’s nothing else like it. What Sylvain can do about it, he has.

    Sylvain conjures a ghost.

    Summary

    You are in the holiest city on the continent, you have successfully negotiated a powerful position beyond what you could ever have dreamed, and you are with Ike. Your name is Soren and this is the day when you have just discovered the worst news of your life, buried deep in the chronicles of Ashera at the Mainal archives.

    Sometimes a name is just a name.

    Summary

    In Hatari, Queen Nailah had spoken of other lands, continents thought lost to the great flood. Ike wanted to see them. He traced imaginary landscapes over Soren’s back at night, the patterns of his fingers making rivers and lakes, the line of Soren’s spine mountains.

    “We’ll need maps, if there are any to be found,” Soren said. “Food and water. Logic dictates that we won’t speak the language, but everyone speaks the language of gold. Ike, are you listening to me?”

    “Sure,” Ike yawned. “Or we can make like the hawk tribe and wing it.”

    “Ike, I love you more than anything or anyone else in this world,” Soren said. “That is why I refuse to allow you to starve to death in some pathetic dinghy in the middle of the ocean.”

    --

    Ike and Soren's journey is interrupted when Soren is injured by a cursed sword. With Soren poisoned and running out of time, Ike embarks on a desperate quest. Stranded in Goldoa while Soren recovers, Soren struggles with the truth about his birth, Rajaion's sacrifice, and both sides of his lineage, while Ike finds himself conflicted on how he should feel when it comes to Soren's birth family.

    Summary

    As the Crimean Liberation Army continue their fight against Daein, the self-imposed distance between Soren and Ike grows. That is until the only thing keeping them apart - Soren's secret he will do anything to hide - is taken advantage of to a nearly fatal degree.

    Soren wishes that the book that had shattered his whole world had mentioned that the Branded had the same weaknesses as their laguz ancestors.
