In Without Repentance, we meet Alister as he prays, or bargains, with his prophet. It is the eve of the Feast of Desirable Dominion and he has just learned that his son is missing from school at a time when children are being abducted and trained for war.

In Do the Wrong Thing, Ava turns up her nose at establishment art and decides to make her own. She inadvertently steals the boy her best friend wants but the romance is short-lived.
