=== The Mirador ===
Isaac - as Vulpes - sneaks into Mehitabel's dressing room, and orders her to gather more information about Gideon.
Isaac attempts to befriend Mildmay, but fails. Isaac also attempts to seduce Felix. When Gideon and Felix get into a fight over it, Felix returns Isaac's flirtation. Mehitabel lets Felix know that Isaac is a spy for the Bastion.
Isaac returns to Mehitabel to note that Louis will be impatient with Isaac's lack of progress, and to get more information about Ivo Polydorus and Vincent Demabrien, as well as some of the other politics in the Mirador.
Isaac invites Felix to dinner, to which Felix invites Mildmay as well. At the dinner, Felix manipulates Mildmay into answering Isaac's questions about the witch-hunts. Felix turns the conversation even more into a nasty argument targeted at Mildmay, and Isaac is gleeful over the chaos. Felix sends Mildmay away, leaving Felix alone with Isaac. Shortly afterward, he appears in Mehitabel's dressing room to talk about the argument, and his hands are covered in terrible welts.Monette, Sarah. “Chapter 12.” The Mirador, Ace Books, New York, 2008. The Doctrine of Labyrinths. Isaac then confronts Mehitabel for more information on Felix's relationship with Vincent.
As Louis visits Isaac in his dreams, and Isaac's relationship with Felix progresses, Isaac unravels, and grows more hateful towards Felix, focusing in particular on Felix's eyes.
Isaac attracts Gideon out of Simon Barrister and Rinaldo's apartment with a fake note from Felix, and then murders Gideon to frame Felix for it. He also sends an anonymous note to Thaddeus de Lalage, giving Thaddeus the location of Gideon's corpse.Monette, Sarah. “Chapter 18.” The Mirador, Ace Books, New York, 2008. The Doctrine of Labyrinths. Unknowing about Gideon's death or Isaac's connection, Felix visits Isaac for some company.
Mehitabel visits Isaac's quarters in the Mirador looking for Gideon. She explains about the note from Felix, which Felix is confused by. Mildmay shortly arrives, declaring that Gideon is dead. Mildmay recalls Isaac being in the Bastion, which combines with Mehitabel's suspicions of Isaac's guilt. When Isaac denies it and attempts to flee, Felix orders Mildmay to kill him. Mildmay nearly does so, but stops before Isaac dies, and refuses to go farther. When Felix goes for Isaac, Thaddeus breaks in with the Protectorate Guard, declaring that Felix is under arrest for treason and murdering Gideon. Isaac accuses Felix and Mildmay of attempting to kill him. Felix then destroys Isaac's mind.
Mehitabel speaks to Stephen Teverius to clear Felix's name and place the blame for Gideon's death properly on Isaac. Felix is put on trial, and confesses to destroying Isaac's mind because Isaac murdered Gideon. Although Felix is cleared of Gideon's murder, he is nearly sentenced to death by burning for committing gross heresy on Isaac. The Tibernian delegation suggests exile to Corambis instead, which Stephen agrees to.

Felix has nightmares about Isaac murdering Gideon.Monette, Sarah. “Chapter 1.” Corambis, Ace Books, New York, 2009. The Doctrine of Labyrinths.
