Summary
“I didn’t keep most of the memories. Other people’s memories. I get flashes of big things, births, deaths. Except about you.”
Carol feels the confusion slip onto her face. Nervousness creeps up her spine again. “Me?”
“I know everything that anybody has ever thought about you, Carol. Every memory. Every feeling. Helen. Your ex-girlfriends. Your dentist. It’s like I have a Carol encyclopedia in my head.”
Carol had thought that she was done experiencing fresh horrors. What a nightmare it is to realize that she is not. “Oh, god.” She says.
“Oh, god,” Zosia agrees.
After they manage to break Zosia free of the hive, Zosia and Carol try to navigate the field of landmines that is their relationship.

Summary
The aftermath of the battle at Manaforge Omega has left Alleria furious and conflicted.
Xal’atath escapes with the Dark Heart, Dimensius’ essence safely tucked into her pocket. Wracked by guilt and anger, Alleria sets her sights on hunting her down again, aided by Sylvanas Windrunner, who has been summoned back from the Maw to assist in defending Azeroth from Xal’atath’s inevitable return.
Alleria and Sylvanas end up following cold trail after cold trail, never quite catching up to the Harbinger.
Nearly a year later, Xal’atath finds them, instead.
As her void armies descend upon Silvermoon and the Sunwell, Alleria wonders if she’s even ready to face her again. She knows she is not the same woman who had once chased Xal’atath across the entirety of Khaz’Algar with no hesitation.
But face her Alleria must, as she and Sylvanas scramble to join the defense of the Sunwell alongside their allies.
And Xal’atath? Something’s shifted in her, too.
