    Summary

    Alec immediately regrets the instinctive shift of his feathers, knowing how many Downworld throats have been slit open on nephilim wings, knowing how many times Magnus and his council must have seen that happen. But what’s done is done and moving them back would do nothing. Alec comes to a halt at a respectful distance from the High Warlock and waits. His arrival was without notice and is certainly unwelcome. By both nephilim and Downworld custom the next move belongs to Magnus alone.

    “Tell me, Alexander Lightwood,” Magnus begins icily, and it’s no surprise that he knows Alec’s name. “What brings the Head of the New York Institute to my door, unarmed, runes inactive, and completely alone?”

    Summary

    “The last time I saw this note,” Isaiah comments, his smile sharp-edged and grimly satisfied, “Alec had just pinned it to the chest of a dead Circle member.”

    Magnus’ eyes widen. He may have known there was an explanation for his husband’s signature being on a note in a Circle archive, but that was most certainly not the explanation he expected.

    “Frankly, I’m curious how they got the blood off it.” Isaiah sounds remarkably unperturbed. “There was quite a bit as I recall.”

    Summary

    Right. We’re back!

    After several months of behaving, briefly, like a respectable public historian — a phrase which still feels illegal in my mouth — I am returning to the subject that started this entire nonsense project: the medieval Consortium of Genoa, also known as the world’s oldest glass closet, also known as that time a warrior-king and a merchant prince accidentally built a Mediterranean superpower while everyone pretended they were just very committed to maritime reform.

    For the next eight weeks, we are talking about King Nicolò II of Genoa and Prince Yusuf ibn Ibrahim Al-Kaysani, because apparently I enjoy pain, footnotes, and watching historians perform interpretive gymnastics around the word “husband.”

    --
    Modern Historians talk about Pseudo-History of Nicky being Nicolo II, King of Genoa, and Joe being Yusuf ibn Ibrahim Al-Kaysani, a Merchant (Pirate) Prince who enters a political arrangement that they refuse to call "marriage." and become "History's worst Closet!"

    Summary

    Vissera Targaryen is the only surviving child of King Viserys and Queen Aemma. The entire weight of the dragon's bloodline rests on Vissera's twelve-year-old shoulders. While her father chases prophetic dreams of a son and the court plots her displacement, Vissera binds herself to Dreamfyre—the oldest, deadliest dragon in the pit. Surrounded by vipers, her only true anchor is her chaotic uncle, Prince Daemon. As the realm marches toward a bloody civil war, Vissera isn't planning to defend her birthright. She’s planning to take it.
