The Gods are tense and Leeland doesn’t know how a tussle between them will impact his fate. Find out now as Azathoth pulls rank.
The Black Dream Cycle: “Azathoth stood fiercely as the black cape billowed behind him. His hands were on his hip and even though the shape of his form was like a human body builder but twice size, he had the grace of a woman and his stance was like a pose.

Shuffle: “Nnedi ventures headlong into mystery with a confidence that makes her the boldest of her unit. When their ship arrived at new a galaxy and disengaged lightspeed travel to scan the sector for signs of life, she hovered over the shoulder of the scan operator in the communications bay, eager for anything that would necessitate landing on a planet and exploring its terrain.”

The VIV crew welcomes Max after Gabby recounts her dream, and he brings a bombshell with him to the summit.
Welsh Rarebit: “The mood changed drastically after Max arrived. Before he knocked – startling us at the table in the dining room – and let himself in the front door, we were all silently meditating on the view from the front door of the house of Gabby’s uncle from her dream. The vision of an absent planet from an empty house is chilling and Gabby rubbed her forearms, seemingly calming goosebumps that sprang up as she sat in the aftermath of the retelling of her dream.”
