    Summary

    She found herself once again staring down the Parker kid in her office. It was a familiar scene. He was curled into the sagging armchair she’d scooped off the curb, feet scuffing against his duffel bag on the floor, arms hunched over the backpack in his lap. Over the past two months and six moves, the boy had quietly trimmed down all of his possessions to fit in those two bags.

    “What,” said Rhee, “the fuck.”

    Peter shrugged, defensive.

    If someone had told her three months ago that this doe-eyed white boy with his cheerful geekery and his pathological adherence to respectful forms of address would be one of her most troublesome cases, she would have laughed them out of the room. Now, she wasn’t laughing.

    Summary

    This is the Accidental Warlord and His Pack series, reorganized in an order that makes a little more sense. It's not precisely chronological, since some of the backstories are set well before With a Conquering Air, but it should flow nicely.

    Summary

    “Jaskier,” Geralt says. “How are you feeling?”

    He thinks about it. He’s cold, still, from the river. A bit hungry. He’s annoyed the bauk got away. He can taste the coming rain in the air, hear Geralt’s heavy, panicky breathing. He shrugs.

    “Oh, fuck,” Geralt says, “this is bad, this is really bad.”

    A thought swims slowly to the surface of Jaskier’s brain. “Am I… am I you?”

    Geralt’s brown eyes blink miserably at him. “I think I’m human,” he says. “So that must make you the witcher.”

    After the mountain, a journey through the woods forces Jaskier and Geralt to appreciate each others’ point of view – if they can survive the experience.
