Chapter 10:
Izzy cursed as his feet caught in the mud and stones, his knees cut and scraped once again under his trousers. His burning lungs choked on another gulp of the unrelenting fog that clung to him like chilly cobwebs. He readjusted his grip on the bundle of food under his cloak and kept going.Series

Summary
"But something else beside the man’s cash box pulls his attention—something soft and odd and wonderful.
Stede darts toward it and gently picks it up.
A fabric doll.
It’s unlike any doll he’s seen before—adorable and strange in the best way. Mismatched buttons for eyes. Long silver hair. A scruffy gray beard. He wears what looks like an old-fashioned white linen shirt, grayish beige breeches, grey stockings, and black, buckled shoes. There are little tattoos embroidered on his arm—tiny anchors, stars, skulls, and a snake, among others, swirls of thread meant to look like ink.
Stede hugs it to his chest without thinking.
He loves it immediately."When they’re young, Stede and Ed each get a doll that looks uncannily like the other—though they’ve never met. They grow up just a few miles apart, treating their dolls like best friends: sewing them tiny outfits, bringing them along on every adventure, and confiding in them like old friends. It’s sweet, a little odd, and maybe even a touch magical.
Years later, when Stede and Ed finally cross paths as adults, they’re struck by a strange, impossible realization: each of them looks exactly like the other’s childhood doll.- Language:

Summary
Ed does not dream. He doesn't wake in the night, doesn't hear or see the shifting around him. And he never, never dreams.
Until one day, he does.
Ed lives in the mansion, where the wind always whispers and the sea always waits. As things begin to change around him, he has to hold onto the unshakeable truths: his room is safe. The skies are empty. Belongings disappear in the night. And he has always lived in the mansion.
Or has he?
