    Summary

    “The Death Star is gone,” the doctor tells Bodhi.

    “Gone,” Bodhi repeats, trying to get his tongue and his mind around it.

    “Destroyed,” she clarifies.

    Bodhi takes a deep, shuddering breath in. He lets it out as slowly as he can, like his mother always said to do when it felt like his lungs were constricting from the in-pressing of circumstance. For all that the strangeness in his chest now is different, the lifting of some weight that had become so much a part of him, his mother’s words still help.

    Summary

    "We worked as caravan guards before we came to Baghdad," Nicolò said, which was true enough, as far as it went. His hand rested easily on the pommel of his sword and he was smiling, a faint and casual enjoyment of his own assurance, and Yusuf loved him desperately.

    "Just like old times," Yusuf agreed, and tossed his bag over to the handlers on the barge.

    Nicolò looked over at him, his face suddenly, awfully, blank, and that was the end of that.

    In the wake of the Frankish conquest of Tyre, Joe and Nicky leave their settled home in Baghdad in order to help a friend. Naturally, things escalate from there.
