Summary
Despite three long years of covert meetings in the shadows with Gaal Dornick, or perhaps even because of them, he had learned a few things along the way.
One. Never underestimate your enemy, even upon entering negotiations with them.
Two. Always have a backup plan outside of the original plan.
Three. Don’t fall in love with them. But no matter how hard he had tried to prepare himself, he was already gone.
.
Gaal finds herself caught in a predicament when she discovers Dawn is still alive, and his decanted clone is with her. Unable to sacrifice him twice, she rescues him—until they come across a signal in space, hailing them to approach a colony on Earth’s moon halfway across the galaxy. The answers that await them there spur more questions than either of them bargained for.

Summary
Come with me. The plea bubbles upwards, flowing like tears, carrying a tide of faces and memories that make him feel like a cup of wine being poured into the ocean. Stay with me. Cleon XXV wakes up on Ignis. (Gaal rescues Brother Dawn after the explosion, but his legs still end up badly injured.)

Summary
“Why don’t you come over here?” she finally suggests, her voice deeper, lower than usual; it sounds like she’s flirting with him, but sometimes Dawn can’t tell with her. He doesn’t want to press into the line of whatever this is, shattering the illusion he’s built in his head. He’s imagined her face a million times before going to bed; sometimes, laughing, other times, gasping, with her mouth wide open and the shadows abound all around them as she shudders out a moan. He thinks about her all the time. He thinks about her too much.
Dawn looks down at his glass of liquor. Swirls it between the crystalline walls—and downs the entire thing in one gulp. It burns going down.
Strength. Wisdom. Fortitude.
This is neither of those things.

Luck. They all wished it, but Gaal didn’t come here on luck. She came here on math—and the math was never wrong.

The Cleonic Dynasty has their physiological needs for intimacy served by concubines from the Gossamer Court, who have their memories wiped after every encounter to ensure no emotional attachments are made. But Gaal is not from the Gossamer Court.
