Summary
Vestalis Maxima. It’s...a lot to wake up to. There hasn’t been a Chief Vestal in seven hundred years; and Nick Simons isn’t completely certain they have one now.
Nick has always known exactly who and what she was; everything she has, she earned. She’s a logistics officer and a centurion and, essentially, mortal; she knows what those things mean. She doesn’t know how to be a high priestess. She doesn’t know how to earn that. Since the bargain at Lycosura, she doesn’t even know if she’s human anymore.
For the first time in her life, she doesn’t know if she’s good enough to do this.

Summary
"Low-content legacy". It's a polite way of saying "functionally mortal." Nicky Simons, centurion in name only, is as true a daughter of Rome as she knows how to be. She earned her rank; she has the respect of her peers; she dragged her division from a dumping ground for incompetence to the beating heart of the Twelfth Legion. She knows her worth. She is not less than.
But one praetor has vanished, shadows are rising, and the list of missing would-be recruits grows longer by the day.
Nicky Simons is as true a daughter of Rome as she knows how to be. And there are things worth dying for.

Summary
The gloves are exactly the right size when she’s eight, and a little small at ten. Age eleven, the first chill breeze slinks through the garden with dead leaves in its mouth like a grey street cat, unbidden, proudly feral. Rumi can’t get her gloves on. The narrow bite of the opening tight around her knuckles.
It’s a silly thing to cry about but it feels—it feels—oh she doesn’t know.
Bad. A little bit. Maybe.

Summary
The Eridians have finally gotten the water feature in Ryland's personal zoo enclosure just right (even if Rocky would like him to stop calling his dome that).
Rocky refuses to believe that humans naturally float. There is no way Ryland's entire species regularly goes into deep water for fun.
