## Trivia

* Chapter 1 shares the same title with *The Elementalists: Winters Past, Chapter 1*.
* In Chapter 2, Lily makes a reference to the movie *The Revenant* with Leonardo DiCaprio when she says that they are dealing with a revenant and that it is "not in the 'Leo Wrestles With A Bear For An Hour' way".
* In Chapter 3, Lily references *The Royal Romance*: when asked by MC how to become a princess, Lily suggests to "[w]aitress in random restaurants until you meet a guy who's secretly a prince on vacation?"
* In Chapter 4, Lester and Priya discuss the "hottest cinematic vampire". Lester favors Lestat from *Interview with the Vampire*, while Priya's favorite is from *The Vampire Diaries* (but she doesn't state which one). The Baron intervenes by saying that the "winner is *clearly* Eric from True Blood."
