    Summary

    “And what are you in the mood for, Louis?” Lestat could have fallen to his knees and wept. The beauty of Louis, his heat, his heart. What was the hurt Lestat felt compared to that? Nothing, a mere blip. “Aside from litigation and smoking my cigarettes and siphoning money from my merchandise?”

    Or: After the meeting with their lawyers, Louis finds Lestat outside.

    Summary

    Claudia swallows. “I’m not a prostitute. Louis—he adopted me, when my parents left and the rooming-house burned down.”

    Grace startles. At the admission of death or the admission of adoption, she can't be sure. If Grace knows Louis' true nature, of his relationship with Lestat, then she must have predicted that her brother would never have a child.

    Then—Grace winces. “My brother’s daughter,” she says, voice quiet, voice contemplative, voice regretful, and she manages to make the title sound like more than Louis or Lestat ever has.

    Her mother died. Her father ran off. Her adoptive parents let her burn.

    Claudia is cursed to a half-existence forever because Louis missed the woman in front of her so much that he wanted to replace her. 

    But when Grace says my brother's daughter, some part of Claudia thinks "I am both of their daughter, I've got Lestat's hunger and Louis' ache, and Grace just sees the parts of me that are human."

    (Grace meets Claudia next to a grave before her mother's funeral, and things go a little bit differently.)

    Summary

    Lady Theodora’s heir is a witch. Not some twitchy Imperial Guard dog like Edelthrad, who probably thought he could hear the Emperor’s voice in his morning gruel, or one of those bug-eyed Leiran soothsayers who mainlined warp visions until their heads popped. A real court psyker—the sort who’s rubbed silk-clad elbows with planetary governors and trade barons and pretended not to notice them recoiling.

    Idira hates her at first.

    Act I: Idira, Theodora von Valancius, and the new Lord Captain.
