    Summary

    Divorced, jaded Seong Gi-hun had already been having a terrible day - fired from his job, all his money stolen from him, and with no present to give his only daughter on her tenth birthday, he really thought things could not get any worse. Until, of course, his ex-wife tells him she'll be taking his daughter to America by the end of the year and there was nothing Gi-hun could do to stop it.

    Desperate, furious and sad, there really was no way it could get any worse. So when a handsome but strange man approached him to play a game, Gi-hun decided he might as well say yes. A few slaps and a 100,000 won later, he has a strange card in his hand and a job offer he might not be able to refuse.

    His life was about to get a whole lot stranger and a lot more dangerous. But, if he plays just right, it might just get a whole lot better as well.

    Summary

    There’s anger in his heart that drifts up and out like unsettled smoke. It coils around the inmates that survive him. Toasts to the weddings that never come; writhes beneath the necklaces of coarse rope laid gently around the bothered necks of women in his past. Anger and fear, blood and guts. Eddie Gluskin has seen it all in his time.

    Summary

    "They were to be betrothed. In another story. Another outcome. If things went according to the plans of the Bene Gesserit, Paul would've been born a girl. Married off to Feyd-Rautha. To birth the Kwisatz Haderach, who would've shorten the way. Bridge space and time. Jessica birthed a boy instead, Paul. Gave him the voice. It was ambition and love and madness and where is the difference between these things anyway."

    Summary

    She had that feeling. That feeling she got before a big storm. The feeling she got right before a trader had pulled a knife on her and her ma at the Hob. The feeling she got right before the stove caught on fire.

    The feeling that something was about to happen.

    Call it instinct or call it a sixth sense, but Emmy always knew. She knew when danger was lurking. Her mind and body were screaming at her, aggressively sending her the signal, the warning.

    Run. But Emery was frozen.

    Fanola delicately unfolded the piece of paper, her eyes promptly surveying the name. Her smile widened and she leaned in closer into the microphone.

    Run.

    “Emery Blue Baird!”

    Summary

    They flee into the night, gravel hauntingly cracking under the wheels, peril licking at their spines. The car dangerously sways under the trembling hands directing the wheel. Their time seems to be borrowed, but it’s fine. It’s fine, because Kinn is by his side. They have each other. They always will.
