Summary
Irene is counting the seconds in her head. That’s how she knows that it takes forty-five seconds for everything to go to hell. Eugenides looks calm, poised, beautiful, and then on the first side-by-side jumping pass, he lands wrong on his right foot and goes down hard, dragging an audible groan from the audience. Eddis, ever the professional, lands beautifully and keeps going, which is why it takes another two seconds for her to realize that Eugenides isn’t getting up.
-----
Irene Attolia is a competitive pairs figure skater. Her rival, Eddis, has the most annoying partner in the world, and Irene decides that if the universe isn't going to do her a favor and get rid of Eugenides, then she's going to have to take matters into her own hands.

Summary
Galen thinks a good first step towards breaking Eugenides out of his self-imposed post-behanding isolation is to get him active on internet chatrooms under an anonymous handle. Irene thinks she might go mad if she keeps turning her dwindling choices and her past mistakes over and over in her head all alone, and maybe it’s time to use that anonymous internet chatroom handle she made for the sake of lurking online and gauging the Attolian populace’s problems for a new purpose: seeking random internet advice.
It doesn’t take long for Gen and Irene to start a private message conversation, neither suspecting who the other is … nor for them to become each other’s main source of support when nightmares leave them awake in the dead of night.

Summary
They were inseparable when they were children together, but the death of the lord of Attolia and Middensea tore them apart. Irene grew cold and stony in her widowhood, Helen grew up feeding a fury she could barely keep contained, Sophos became trapped between power and responsibility and Gen--Gen was just gone. Years after the murder of Irene's husband, however, something changes that could bring them back together again.
As long as Irene can figure out--what do you say to someone who lost everything for you?
