On two different occasions Nyx and Shade tell each other that they wish they had met in another place. Nyx and Lux are eventually reunited in the altered timeline, where he had never been the Gentle Lord or she his wife. An Aesop: Nyx saves Arcadia not through destroying her nemesis, the Gentle Lord, but through saving the man she loves - prince Marcus. The latest book in the Lincoln Lawyer series comes out this month. This will be the 7th book in that series, and the 41st book in the Bosch Universe. Harry Bosch also plays a big part in this book.

Happily Ever After: In the altered timeline, Arcadia was never enslaved, Nyx and Astraia share a relationship free of bitterness, Telomache and Leonidas are married and expect a child to be born, Nyx will presumably go to the Lyceum to study the Hermetic Arts and is eventually reunited with Lux. In brief: Penryn knew she was acting selfishly and kept doing so in spite of everything, and I loved it; Nyx knew she was a tool in The Greater Good hands and resented it profoundly, and never, not even once, she thought she could find another way, resulting in her (and us) never understanding which side she was on. And I hated it. But you know what you are, and what you deserve. You lie to me but not to yourself. That's why I love you.”But Ignifex is not at all what Nyx expected. The strangely charming lord beguiles her, and his castle-a shifting maze of magical rooms-enthralls her. Thus, I decided it was time to cull the herd. So decided I would try the cliched booktube trend of reading first chapters of books that have been on my shelves awhile...unhauling anything that didn’t at least mildly capture my attention. There are creepy demon shades roaming around in the book along with some other weirdness. Nyx gives her all to save Ignifex and in the end it all pays off.
