    Summary

    Brighton hates it when the Shimmer-Pool pierces the grand hall of his empire. It means someone returns, someone he doubts is truly worthy, even if the Scribes deem it so. He once traversed that pillar of pure light to escape the Downside, but he holds no warmth for those who follow in his wake.

    Except for one.

    Brighton reunites with someone he never thought he'd see again.

    Summary

    Why expect any less from Manley? Of course he got what he wanted—again and again. That’s why Brighton returned to his bed after every Rite against each other, why he tolerated his brazen behavior, and why he lingered each morning.

    Against his better judgment, Brighton stays with Manley into the morning. Again.

    Summary

    “Just brush off the snow and—”

    “Brush off?!” He reeled back with a dramatic gasp, twiggy hand braced on his chest for emphasis. “How dare you not take these stolen moments together as seriously as I do!”

    Why do I tolerate someone as outrageous as you? he kept to himself. But he knew why. He had for some time.

    The night before the final Rite, Brighton meets with the only one who made him long for something other than freedom.

    Summary

    The Reader is lying down in the Sandfolds after an unpleasant trip down the Sclorian river when a group that refers themselves as the Chastity stops and rescues her. Now, as their designated Reader, she is supposed to carry them through the Rites for a chance at liberation from the Downside. Will she be able to do that in a triumvirate composed by former members of the Commonwealth upper class, who think that the only way of winning is by bending the rules and bribing their opponents?
