Summary:

A three (and a half)-part short story collection that is set at three different points in time after the conclusion of the presumed War of Ardhalis and following the Phantom Scythe’s destruction. Part 1: With the city still smoldering in the aftermath of the recent civil war, Kieran has decided to leave Ardhalis for the time being to let the city recover and move on from the tragedy that the PS has brought. Lauren watches his departure and travels the city absent-mindedly as she struggles with the unexpected void left by her partner. Part 1.5: Kieran struggles to write a letter informing Lauren of his return back to Ardhalis. Part 2: Set five years later, Kieran has at last returned to Ardhalis. Lauren is there to greet him upon his arrival, and the two travel through some of their old haunts, enjoying the company of each other. Part 3: Decades have now passed, and as Lauren and Kieran reach their twilight years, they reminisce on all the things they have done throughout their life - the turmoil and struggles that they have overcome together, as well as the tender moments they’ve had in their relationship as a couple and the unexpected antics of their children.

Summary:

After the events of 43, Kieran finds himself reflecting on his past assassinations, for truly, Lauren was not wrong when she called him a monster. As his heart screamed within his chest, he had described his murders to her with a flood of words that wouldn’t stop. Now, the memories pour into his mind, landing on one of his most infamous - the one that instilled fear into the people of Ardhalis as a whole - the street he’d turned into a river of blood one afternoon. Hanbury.
