Summary
The Temple of Silence discovers a remarkably intact set of ruins in the desert. At the ruins' heart is an altar, and around the altar are dozens of skeletons, all intact and undisturbed. It's as if the people who died there simply fell asleep and never woke up.
While investigating the mystery, Al-Haitham falls into a slumber from which he cannot be woken. It becomes clear that without intervention, whatever killed the people in the temple is going to kill him, too. With the combined assistance of Lord Kusanali and a mysterious Ratnik, Kaveh plunges into the realm between death and dreaming to bring Al-Haitham home.
Even with nothing but shattered remnants left to find, Kaveh knows the shape of Al-Haitham's soul as well as he knows his own. He'll put Al-Haitham back together piece by piece if he has to—and in the process, maybe he'll put the pieces of their relationship back together, too.

Summary
“Math?” And a published academic journal, at that?
“Yes.” Ratio returns the book to his bag, carrying on, but Aventurine’s stuck on the fact that this is apparently what he does in his free time outside of composing music.
“…I thought you were a pianist.”
“I am a pianist.”
“But– math?” Even Aventurine doesn’t spend that much time thinking about math, and he spends twelve hours a day staring at financial models.
“Does it not occur to you that it's possible to have more than one interest?”
Aventurine lives the same week on repeat: eighty hours of his soul-sucking high finance job, then two nights of dancing off the stress to the beat of his favorite anonymous DJ. His move into a luxury apartment building brings him next door to Ratio, an esteemed classical composer with a love for piano. Eager to make a good impression, Aventurine keeps his clubbing habit under wraps — but he’s not the only one hiding secrets under strobe lights.
