In Another Path to the City, a man finds a book in an abandoned train station and the book tells him what's about to happen to him. Ink is a curse that arrives overnight as black liquid on the palms — and the cure is a long flight to Norway and a conversation with a baby god. The Gift of Death is a guidebook for the recently and unexpectedly deceased, written by the only person who remembers all of his lives. You've Heard of the City is a tour of a city that called you here, given by a guide older than Fate.
