    Summary

    “You leave bodies behind, Tommy,” Lizzie continues. “Not just the ones you bury. The ones you walk out on, too.”

    The words cut, quiet but exact. 

    “I used to wonder if I was one of them,” she adds.

    “You’re not.”

    “Then what am I?”

    The question lands softly, but it knocks something loose inside him. 

    “The only place that doesn’t smell like smoke.”

    Tommy Shelby doesn't bleed for anyone — not in public, and not without purpose. But tonight, his wounds are literal, and his pride is fractured. 
    He finds himself wandering up to Lizzie Stark’s door, the only place that feels remotely human anymore. She's not surprised. She never is. What surprises them both is what happens when the masks slip, and neither of them has the strength to put them back on.

    Summary

    Lanfear is unable to recall how she came to be here. A world without knowledge of the one power—well, one that is weaker than the one she is familiar with.

    Lanfear could not help but marvel at the peculiar situation she found herself in. She now inhabited the life of a young woman named Elizabeth Stark, more commonly referred to as Lizzie.

    Lanfear delved deep into the treacherous and ruthless world of gangs, a realm that was all too familiar to her. Though she was accustomed to power and treachery, she found herself strangely enamored by a man known as Tommy Shelby.

    This man, with his cold and unforgiving gaze, commanded unparalleled respect among his peers. According to Elizabeth's memories, Lanfear should claim this man for the sake of the poor young dear heart as well as her own entertainment.

    Summary

    In its infinitely charitable wisdom, St Alban’s opened its black and gold gates to an uncommunicated and unconfirmed teen girl with a poor scholastic record. Mum took them out for milkshakes, which really meant water for Lizzie and a kid-sized milkshake shared between Catherine and Mum, while Mum crowed about how she’d known that baptism would be useful one day. Another legacy from their dearly departed Dad, Mum kissing the photo atop the mantle that night, polishing the frame with her sleeve before putting Dad back into his place.
