Intermission: Essence of Nightshade

Starting off our inter-chapter hiatus is an entry in another Thalia Gordon story by guest writer Josh Connor.  You may have already read The Undying Voice of Julius Gordon and Mirage (if not, rectify that now), so prepare to feast upon Essence of Nightshade, told in several parts in the next few weeks.

These stories are 99.9% canonical and fairly plot relevant, as well as EXCELLENTLY written, so I strongly encourage you all to read them 🙂
