Summary
"For the fourth time this week, Essek Thelyss, former Shadowhand of the Kryn Dynasty and current wanted criminal, wakes to the feeling of arachnidian legs across his back, neck, and face..." Plagued by nightmares and compulsions, Essek fears he is losing his mind. He leaves little more than a cryptic note in his wake. "In a flash of light unseen by all but the white cat at the door, Essek vanishes from Caleb Widogast’s life."
Across the continent, five heroes are settling back into normalcy after barely escaping the sunken ruins below Ank’harel. Though they were successful in talking down the twisted monster within, the cost was great. While navigating political chaos, the Apothean heroes are approached by an old ally. Their friend begs the party to find his fugitive brother before dynasty assassins do. If they can convince Essek to turn himself into the government that calls him traitor, perhaps his life will be spared.
Struggling with cult activity, inner demons, past trauma, and conflicting points of view, the group follows the only breadcrumbs left behind, finding on each step of their journey that things are infinitely more complicated than they appear.

Summary
He thinks maybe it should make him more frightened, that he should worry about the liabilities he has allowed these people to become. It does nothing to temper the joy of being trusted, of being someone worthy of friend. It does nothing to diminish the memory of Caleb’s spellbook in his lap this morning, its owner sound asleep before him; the sweet press of concern behind Jester’s words in his mind the night before as she reached out with sending.
A rabbit walks into a snare. The snare closes around its throat, killing it. What is responsible for its death, the stupidity of the rabbit or the viciousness of the snare’s purpose?
The Shadowhand of the Bright Queen walks into the T-Dock, he thinks, and feels sick.Two months after surviving the ruin of Aeor, Caleb and Essek return to tie up loose ends.

Summary
Essek Thelyss is not a mild-mannered florist from Lyrengorn. He isn't a detective, either, but dead men can't be choosy.
Beauregard Lionett is having problems at work. She even knows about a few of them, albeit mostly the ones she keeps causing.
Caleb Widogast is unfinished. Marion Lavorre knew it directly they met.
She can help him with that.

Summary
He wonders if he has a life beyond today. He wonders if he has time to erase the chalk plans in his home before abandoning it forever. He wonders if he was the one who looked into the mirror, or the one who stepped out of it.
— Essek and the Nein succeed in defeating the Somnovem, but their return to the Material Plane is a backwards trip out of Aeor. He is haunted by his memories, his guilt, the monsters around every corner, the threat of Trent Ikithon — and a shadow in his periphery that looks remarkably like himself. For Essek Thelyss, love and annihilation go hand-in-hand, until he learns otherwise.
