    Summary

    The crazy thing is that Harrow doesn’t even like her, the occasional blip at the sacred pool notwithstanding. Gideon dies for her – a stupid ordeal all around, the least said about it the better – and resigns herself to the Underworld, and that’s supposed to be that, right? Harrow isn’t supposed to come after her. Not till she dies herself, and Gideon is hoping that’s a long way off for a lot of reasons. She deserves at least a few decades without Harrow, after what that woman put her through.

    But come she does, with her stupid furrowed brows and haughty chin and clomping step. With sculptor’s fingers and artist’s eyes and that same old obnoxious confidence in her own brilliance. Harrow bulldozes her way to to the Underworld and stands before the throne of the God of the Dead, running on the fumes of her own manic determination, and demands Gideon back.

    And the Lord of the Underworld, John Gaius himself, says, “Wow. Let me think about that.”

    Summary

    Of all her gigs, writing advice for a column in a skin magazine is probably Gideon's favorite, though walking Noodle for Cam and Pal is a close second. Even when it brings her within glaring distance of their across-the-hall neighbors. The Nonagesimus sisters. The younger, a little weird but fine. The elder? A pit viper.

    At least on the surface.

    Summary

    Harrow kept her eyes on the horizon. "Do I disappoint you, honored wife?"

    Gideon was starting to think that 'honored wife' was a placeholder for 'fucking asshole' or something similar. "Not at all. I think more girls should aspire to be gremlins when they grow up."

    Summary

    Mercymorn survived god's assassination. What now?
    She went from Gaius' right hand to a discounted babysitter for a dead necromancer, Pyrrha Dve, a girl who keeps bringing her dead boyfriend back and her ex-pupil who might or might not be some kind of eldritch abomination. She hates it here and she is very vocal about it. As the glowing orb in the sky grows heavier with each passing day, Mercymorn sees visions of loved ones long lost and of the horrors to come, she is forced to face the question whether she is simply insane or there are more skeletons hiding in the closet.

    The First Daughter by

    02 Mar 2024

    Tags
    Summary

    The heirs to the Houses have been summoned to compete for the hand of God's only daughter, with the promise of Lyctorhood thrown in the mix. Harrow's only goal is to preserve her House, which she plans to do with or without Gideon Ptolemaia's hand in marriage. But the Princess — and the other postulants — aren't what she expected.

    AKA: Harrow competes in a contest to marry Gideon, but mostly makes friends she doesn't want, patches her relationship with her brother cavalier Ortus, and tries to figure out why looking at Gideon gives her migraines.

    Summary

    On the night of the anniversary dinner, the Third and Sixth Houses end up working together—kind of, almost—with nearly good intentions to prove that neither of them were responsible for the deaths of Abigail Pent and Magnus Quinn.

    Or, Gideon Nav was not paying attention and did not notice the complex, Empire-shaking, absolutely stupid political drama unfolding around her the night of the murder investigation.
