    Summary

    That was maybe the worst part of this whole thing. More than the broken ribs, the immense general anxiety, and the millions of steps involved to send your father to prison and take over his business—Wylan couldn’t kiss Jesper.

    -

    or, snapshots from the first nine days of Wylan and Jesper living together in the Van Eck mansion after the auction. Documents are signed, conversations are had (at varying levels of seriousness), and due to circumstance, kisses are temporarily banned throughout it all.

    Summary

    They lie on the edge of the roof, watching the guests arrive at the Ice Court, dignitaries, performers, the workers from the West Stave houses. In the midst of the glittering crowds one group stands out, a blot of darkness among the gaudy frocks and suits.

    Inej inhales sharply. She’s looking down at the man in the centre of the group, whose reddish hair is going sparse on top. “Isn’t that–”

    Beside Jesper, Wylan stills, his body a tense line.

    “Van Eck,” Kaz confirms. His face turns grimmer than usual.

    Wylan’s secret is revealed at the worst time, and in the worst way. Everything afterwards happens a little differently.

    Summary

    Above Wylan’s bony left ankle, metal gleams: a heavy iron manacle, welded to a long chain of links that snake behind him, clattering on the floor as he moves.

    Jesper watches it, mouth open as everything he’d assumed shatters and comes back together in a new shape. “You’re a prisoner!” he blurts out.

    Wylan twists sharply to look at him, face creased in a familiar aggravated scowl. “Are you an idiot?” he demands. “The locked door wasn’t a clue?”

    There are new weapons appearing in the Barrel. Kaz sends Jesper undercover to find out where they’re coming from. Jesper finds something else entirely.
