Summary
When red lyrium starts appearing in the streets of Thedas, it doesn’t just corrupt; it makes its users rabid. Ivy “Rook” Ingellvar is on a deadline to find the source before the sickness spreads. But her past won’t stay buried, and the people Varric holds close start showing their secrets.
Emmrich Volkarin should be the safest man to stand beside, a rare necromancer with iron control and a gaze that never looks away. Necromancers are scarce, and the bonds they form are rarer still, old magic that clings, claims, and refuses to let go. As the trail tightens, protection blurs into possession, and Rook must decide what she’ll sacrifice to stop the red and what she’s willing to surrender to the man following her every step.

Puis un mouvement attire mon attention. Une silhouette familière se précipite vers nous.
— Tobias ! me hèle Cara. Il faut que tu viennes !
Je le vois dans ses yeux. Dans ses traits graves. Et je sais pourquoi elle ne s’adresse qu’à moi en cet instant.
— Où est-elle ?
Ma voix claque plus fort que je ne l'aurais voulu, emportée par la certitude que quelque chose est arrivé.

Summary
Russia’s locker room was fortunately empty as he made his way to the bathroom, heaving himself against the sink as he met his own gaze in the mirror. He almost didn’t recognize the sunken-eyed, pale face staring back, but forced himself to remain.
This is your fault, Ilya.
He’d seen injuries like that before, very few were able to get back on the ice let alone reach their full potential. Shane Hollander may very well never put on a skate again in his lifetime.
And Ilya only had himself to blame.
_______________________________________________________When Shane Hollander suffers a catastrophic injury during the 2008 Prospect Cup final at the hands of Ilya Rozanov, he has to decide whether his future in the NHL is still possible and if he has the courage to reach for it.

Summary
The walls were mostly intact, although the plaster had been worn down by the rain until the gray stones beneath were exposed to the elements, and the floor supporting the second story had rotted away. The roof was gone, crumbled into the interior of the house and, by now, turned into soil. A few trees had even rooted there, springing up through the old kitchen and bedroom into a delightful spray of green canopy. The one in the living room was the largest, somehow almost full grown despite the constraints of the ruined house around it. The surrounding trees had encroached on the building too, the forest determined to reclaim the garden patch where Remus and Sirius had once laid on top of each other in a hammock.
It was a place from a different era, a place nature was trying to heal and make new.

Summary
Steve lets out an almighty whoop of glee as he leaps off the cliff into the dark cool water below. He hits the surface with a great splash, sending water spraying into Dustin’s face where he’s sitting by the edge of the river that flows through the state park closest to Hawkins. His legs dangle in the water, the rolled up cuffs of his jeans getting damp.
Ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen… Dustin keeps one eye on his watch and another on the bubbles and ripples that dance across the water. When Steve’s head breaks through the water, Dustin lets out a breath, and pretends to continue reading his book. He’s reread the same paragraph the entire time they’ve been here, too focused on watching Steve’s every movement to remember the words on the page.
--
A simple day by the river turns serious when Steve slips from a boulder overlooking the water and nearly drowns. Long-held feelings and fears bubble to the surface in the aftermath of the event as Steve and Dustin finally face-head on the depth of over ten years of friendship.Series
