    Summary

    “Smoking again, huh?” she says teasingly, crossing her arms as she leans beside Phainon. “I thought you quit.”

    “I am,” Phainon says without looking at her, fiddling with the box in her hands. “I’m not lighting it.”

    “Still keeping true to your word even after your little catfight?”

    Phainon blushes, her face heating up, almost overriding the breeze. But she still doesn’t turn to look at her, afraid of what her own eyes might convey. “I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

    Cipher raises an eyebrow. “You really think I wouldn’t know?”

    The cigarette filter almost rips from being bitten into a little too harshly, Phainon’s jaw tensing by the minute. “Still don’t know what you’re talking about.”

    The girl sighs beside her, defeated. “Your roomie texted to ask if you’ve been eating well.”

    Summary

    Local librarian Mydei always kept a fine and distinguished line between her work and personal life. But Mydei carelessly threw that code away after giving her name to one unfortunately cute girl she'd never seen before at the gym one night; Phainon, an obstacle like no other that now refused to leave her alone at her place work, once their paths inadvertently crossed at Mydei's library.

    Summary

    “I could hear prayers,” Mydei says abruptly. "I assumed you didn’t know; I doubt it’s something I ever would have had the chance to tell you. But it started immediately after I acquired Nikador’s Coreflame.” He stares out at the square—the marble of rebuilt statues winking where the city once stood in embers.

    “Prayers,” Phainon echoes weakly. “So you—“

    “I heard every prayer,” Mydei continues, his gaze flitting to the ruins of the Dawn Device. “Including the ones from you. I knew that you didn’t know I could hear them.” His lips quirk up. “You never would have been so honest otherwise.”

    Three months after the battle with Irontomb, Mydei and Phainon begin to navigate the way that they have both changed in the aftermath of the eternal recurrences—and what that means for their relationship.

    Summary

    Mydeimos’s smile is sharp as he shrugs. “What’s your name again?”

    “Phainon of—” Phainon cuts himself off, looking away. It doesn’t matter where he’s from. Not anymore. “Phainon.”

    “Phainon of Nowhere,” Mydeimos says, and those words disembowel Phainon, cutting into his belly and slicing clean across it. “Come to bed with me. We have a show to put on.”

    In the midst of an ongoing war between Okhema and Castrum Kremnos, Mydei's mother gifts him Phainon, an Okheman bed slave he neither wants nor needs. But there is more at stake for both Mydei and Phainon: between Gorgo's ploys, Eurypon's plans, and the advancing black tide, they are pulled between a growing desire for each other and the very fate of their world.
