    Summary

    For the first time since this ill-advised escape began—breaking into Heimerdinger’s office, stealing contraband materials, forging his signature on a prisoner-release form—Viktor considers that he may actually be in danger. It’s the dullness in the man’s yellow eyes, and his bloody fingernails, and the white marks trailing up and down his arms. More than anything, perhaps, it’s his unnatural stillness. He looks nothing like the picture tucked in his file. He looks nothing like a person at all.

    “Jayce Talis?” he asks finally.

    Something twitches in the man’s jaw.

    “Yeah,” he says. “I was.”

    Summary

    A volte immagina il funerale.

    Immagina qualcuno che non conosce dire male il nome di Viktor. Immagina di mettersi a urlare in pubblico. Immagina di rubare le ceneri e tenerle in un contenitore di proteine in polvere perché è l’unico recipiente grande abbastanza. Immagina di stendersi tra quelle ceneri come un uccello Vedova. Immagina di cuocere le ceneri per farne del pane e darlo da mangiare ai piccioni nel parco.

    Immagina di ingoiarle lui stesso.

     

    O: quando Viktor sceglie una morte tranquilla, Jayce impara come amarlo fino alla fine e ad andare avanti attraverso la triste arte del lasciar andare.

    Summary

    In a far-future Thedas, Piltover remains one of the few nations neither ruled by mages nor consumed by Noxus. Through Heimerdinger’s unwavering faith in the old order, the city preserves the last surviving Circle. Jayce Talis, a minor noble whose family fled the Mage Wars, does not share his convictions. Instead he seeks to master the art of magic through science. That pursuit leads him to Viktor, a brilliant engineer from the Undercity who was raised to revere magic rather than fear it.

    A fusion of the worlds Arcane and Dragon Age, written so that even if you’ve never played Dragon Age, you’ll still be able to follow the story.

    Summary

    Dying, trapped in a crack in the world, Jayce has lost almost everything- save the memories. And in the darkness those come out in terrible, technicolor clarity. Every victory, every failure, how it all began- and how it ended. Every single time he stepped over the edge. Every time he fell.

    (Jayce hadn't thought anything of him at first- easy to overlook an unwanted bureaucrat- easier still, to overlook a cripple.)

    (Something sly about it, the cast of that pale face. Just how bright those golden eyes were, in the black. They seemed to catch the light, reflecting it back, like those of a young fox.)

    Of course, falling didn't always hurt. Once, he had fallen in love.

    Summary

    “Does it always look like this?”

    Over the helicopter drum there is the mumble of distant thunder as if the sky is talking to itself.

    “Nine hundred years of lightning,” Joe introduces. “Welcome to the house of perpetual storm.”
