Summary
She was a legend once. Settlements defended, slaves freed, clean water flowing through a wasteland on the brink. But he remembers her differently, as the patient mentor who once taught him chess while he was being molded into a leader. She was too young to carry the weight of the wasteland. He was only a boy when they placed command on his shoulders. Then she vanished, leaving behind nothing but ghosts and whispers.
Now, clinics rise from the ruins. Blue tape stretched across broken thresholds like law. No weapons. No allegiances. No questions. Only healing. A nameless doctor builds them one by one, even as she searches for the key to making her impossible dream a reality. But the Institute’s shadow looms, and its secrets stand in her way.
He swears to save humanity from technology; she swears to save it from itself. What began as a boy’s quiet crush sparks into something far more dangerous, even as the savior of the Capital Wasteland takes up her fight again. She never wanted to be a legend. But legends don’t ask permission. Legends are made, one story, one battle, one strip of blue tape at a time.

Summary
He strode out to the forecastle, past the vertibird docks, as far as he could away from the deck squires. There, he gripped the rails and took a few deep breaths, trying to keep himself from freaking out as realization dawned on him.
She wasn’t just another knight under his command.

Summary
Almost eleven years after the tragedy, a young woman arrives at the newly-restored Thrushcross Grange to begin a quiet life as a governess, settling into its ordered routines. Little does she know that everything she believes about restraint, propriety, and herself will be undone by a man who belongs to that wilderness — a dark, sullen stranger from Wuthering Heights. Through him, she is drawn into a world of dangerous longing and passion, where feeling runs deeper than reason, and once stirred, cannot be silenced again.
