Summary
The Xhorhasian infiltration of Felderwin fails, but Yeza's still missing, and all signs point towards Rexxentrum.
While scouting the back alleys of the city, the Nein are saved from a near-deadly ambush by the worst possible guardian angel: Trent Ikithon. Just like that, the casters of the party wake to discover they've been made unwilling students of the Soltryce Academy, trapped under the watchful eye of the faculty. As Caleb tries to hold himself together in the face of Ikithon's resumed tutelage, the rest of the scattered Nein scramble to find each other, find Yeza, and most importantly, find a way to get them all out of Rexxentrum alive.

Summary
“Enough,” Eadwulf says finally, and it’s muscle memory, it’s instinctive, that he reaches out. He’s a fool, and he’s thinking of Bren, and they’re alone, arcana making the room shiver with heat, chalk dust heavy in his nose.
Essek is not Bren. He side steps Eadwulf’s reach. moving to the opposite end of the room, hands raised defensively. His fingers are crooked with the somatic components for counter spell. The chalk cracks in two pieces in his grip in his free hand.
Wulf laughs; he can’t help it. “We are allies in this, yes? I’m not going to hurt you.”
Essek laughs too; it is the first time Wulf has heard it. It’s a harsh sound, scraping on a throat already raw from shouting. It’s beautiful. It fractures. It shatters. “I’d like to see you try.”
(The years after Bren, before Caleb, with Essek).

Summary
Essek is crying, and he can’t remember why. He should probably be concerned about that, but he is caught in the heaving relief of sobs, shaking in his ribs as he curls in tighter, pressing his forehead against his knees. His grief drips silently down onto his lap, disappearing into black, ice-encrusted fabric. Did someone die? Did he do something terrible?
