    Summary

    “Perhaps the seeds of madness are sown in the womb.”

    Not for Aerion, no. Nor for Egg. But Daeron had always known. Since he was small, he saw the tapestries upon the walls burn above his cradle, and he knew. Drink or delirium, it did not matter. One way or another, his visions would be the death of him.

    He had not reckoned he would have to suffer more than one.

    The gods want something from Daeron. They must, to have devised so exceptional a hell. For why else would they have him live these days over and over?

    If they have chosen Daeron to change the future, they have chosen the wrong man. Daeron is not a hero. He never has been.

    Summary

    “So ditch him,” comes out of his mouth before any critical thinking takes place. He holds out his hand. “Have dinner with me.”

    “What?” Emma’s eyes widen. “That’s okay, I’m—I can take the bus back home.”

    It’s clear from her tone she thinks the offer is just because her date stood her up and he feels bad. A miscommunication that must be rectified as soon as possible. Brendon doesn’t like being misunderstood.

    He lets himself look her over, take in her bare legs, her short dress, the way the straps drape over her collarbones. “Dressed like that? No you can’t.” Impatiently, he reasserts that she should take his hand.

    “Really,” she pleads, eyes wide and shining with emotion, “just go home. I’m fine.”

    “I know you are.” That’s not the point.

    It gives her pause. Two little lines appear between her eyebrows, adorably furrowed in confusion. “I—you what?”

    He softens. “I know you’re okay. I’m asking you to dinner because I want to take you to dinner.”

    Summary

    Hal Jordan came to terms with being voidmarked over a decade ago. The meaningless yellow symbols encircling the base of his finger had never been anything more than a source of curiosity for his classmates (who were all marked with ordinary names) and disappointment for his mother.

    Hal was always the first to point out how nonsensical his own mark was, to laugh at his own poor luck and to joke about how at least he wasn’t going to get trapped in a boring marriage with a whiny wife and ugly kids like the rest of his peers. At first, he only said it to take a weapon out of the hands of his would-be bullies, but time and repetition got to him and eventually he sort of started to believe it.
