   Summary

   The Collector’s morals had long since been abandoned in his search for the cure, his meddling burying the island in Malaise. Failure after failure, and still he persevered, praying that something would change. When the Beheaded broke down his door —a headless phantasm of his former king— the Collector was forced to reckon with a whole new problem. His one success burned away every lie he told to keep himself safe, and the Beheaded’s determination uncovered the deeply hidden part of himself that hoped he might be worth loving.
