    Summary

    "I'll kill you," he whispers, struggling half-heartedly in his hold. Their mouths keep coming together, his words uttered around their shared breaths. It makes him feel lost and disoriented, disassembled. It's strange how hazy and surreal everything leading up to this moment had felt, but Lalo kisses him now like he's the only real thing left, and the sensation of falling back into his body is dizzying. All of a sudden he can feel the warmth from the fire and the weave of the couch beneath his fingertips, the scratch of stubble. "I'll kill you."

    "You won't," Lalo says, lazy and slow and supremely confident, and Nacho hates the way he thinks, spoiled Salamanca brat, with no rancour, hates how he feels himself stir in his pants. Lalo smells of clean cotton and tastes of fresh tomatoes and top-shelf whiskey, smoky like the barrel of a gun in his mouth, and Nacho has missed him like a phantom limb.

    But this is, as with everything Salamanca, a power play.

    He pushes him away, and Lalo goes, just barely. It makes him feel bereft. "I should kill you for what you did to my father."

    Summary

    Once, Maximilien Robespierre had been certain that the Revolution must be close to achieving its goals. The ongoing wars, the shifting of the factions and the deluge of plots, lies and false-friends have disabused him of that notion. The time has come to face the hardest choice imaginable and fight within the Convention, the Committee and the Jacobin Club to secure the Republic and its people, and defend his companions, his beloved friend and everything he holds dear.

    Summary

    Like a blanket of fog, death had always hung over the Revolution and those fighting to establish and uphold the Republic. Now, with the threat of further conspiracies and the forces of counter-revolution beginning to show their hand, Robespierre must choose how to face the encroaching threat. The question more often on his mind, however, is who will be brought down with him.
