    Summary

    “Harrowhark,” says Father Gaius, rolling the sounds around his mouth with the air of an unintentionally patronizing uncle. “That’s quite a…vivid name.”

    “It reflects my late parents’ wish for me to free their community from the hell of Earthly temptation before the new millennium,” she explains in a deadened tone. If the pastor correctly hears free as a euphemism for lead in mass suicide, he gives no indication. “They believed my birth was prophesied.”

    “Now, that would have been an interesting tidbit to list in your qualifications.” He grins, brandishing her resumé; when the joke falls utterly flat, his grin falters into something more pathetic. “The charismatics do tend to get carried away, don’t they.”

    In the year 2000, Harrow gets a job at John Gaius's church, meets his handsome and pious daughter, and things go to Hell in a handbasket.

    Summary

    Lakrissa and Aylin find themselves competing to see who is the better girlfriend when Alfira and Isobel drag them into a double date.

    Lakrissa said, "Is it strange—"
    "Lakrissa, don't," Alfie murmured.
    "—worshiping Dame Aylin's mom?"
    "Lakrissa."
    "I'm just asking! How is she even a maiden if she's had—"
    "Lakrissa. Sorry, Isobel. She jokes a lot."
    Wisely, Lakrissa shut her mouth, but Dame Aylin took that moment to say, "The moon was not out that night."
    "Aylin!" Isobel moaned.
    "She might have heard us." Her scars flashed in the candle light as a sultry smile uncurled across Dame Aylin's face. "If not, Dame Aylin will make her hear."

    Summary

    On her mad quest to return home, Araj assists the freed vampire spawn in designing a potion to sate their blood lust, but only if one of them agrees to bite her.

    “There is something profoundly wrong with you,” Aurelia said.

    “That is the general consensus,” Araj agreed.

    “So you simply want a bite? You could achieve the same effect with a, a, a de-venomed spider, or something.”

    “A spider does not have soft lips, or powerful arms, or pupils that dilate when it tastes me. A spider would not moan with delight at my taste, or struggle to tear itself away from me. It would not want and it would not stop. But you will. And if you won’t, I’ll find someone else to enjoy me. Anyway, I’ve already been bitten by all variety of spiders. Even a drider.” Araj pressed her finger to her lips and cheekily said, “Shh. Don’t tell.”

    Summary

    That December people climbed up into the oaks at Berkeley and stayed there. In April, Cinta stopped paying taxes to the federal government. Some kid named Karis, who was always at the Workers of the World meetings despite not having a job, was talking about heading into the redwood grove that Julia Butterfly Hill had camped up in for three years.

    Summary

    Two years after the fall of the Absolute, Baldur’s Gate is a city divided—the Lower City teeming with desperate ambition, the Upper City cloaked in wealth and secrets, and the shadows between hiding dangers no one dares speak of.

    A Lolthsworn matriarch seeks a fragment of a legendary artifact—a shard of power said to twist the world to the Spider Queen’s will. When a party of unfortunate young thieves stumble across it, they unwittingly become pawns in a deadly conflict with the drow, who will stop at nothing to recover it.

    Shadows deepen, loyalties shift, and every choice could tip the balance between survival and ruin. In a world where survival demands courage, cunning, and trust in unlikely allies, the choices they make—and the powers they awaken—could shape the fate of all Faerûn.
