    Summary

    "Aiden couldn’t remember the last time that “new” didn’t mean pain. A new test, a new experiment, a new cut into his eye to coax regrowth, a new potion or mutagen forced through his teeth.

    Today, however, there was something new."

     

    Or the story of Aiden of the School of the Cat escaping captivity in the wake of Jad Karadin's betrayal. He's taken to Kaer Morhen, the new capitol of the Wolf Warlord's hard-won kingdom, and the home of the people that should relish seeing him dead the most.

    Summary

    He watched Mrs. Byers meet the young girl's eyes over her son's shoulders and he was suddenly hit with a crystal clear image in his mind.

    Hopper. Standing with his back to the gate. Smiling softly, resigned. But filled with so much love.

    Joyce. Watching, stretched impossibly thin. Understanding with a sense of grief, too terrible to name.

    She turns the keys.

    "Steve?" Jonathan is half out of the ambulance, using all of his weakened strength to keep Steve upright. "What's wrong?"

    "Hopper. It's Hopper. He's gone." Steve doesn't know how he knows it, but he does.

    -------------------

    After the Battle of Starcourt, Steve struggles with the damages that the Russians left behind. In dealing with the aftermath, with the help of Robin and the Party, he uncovers a larger conspiracy at hand than just re-opening the Gate.

    Summary

    Sailors call them watermarks. A gift from the sea, a name or symbol written on your chest, meant to guide you to your own true love.

    But Stede Bonnet's mark doesn't look like anything at all. Not really. And it certainly doesn't look like 'Edward' or 'Teach' or 'Blackbeard' or a black beard and that's fine. Completely fine.

    Ed's absolutely fine with it.
