Summary
Utterly defeated by the weaver-spawn, Hornet, Lace awakens to find the only home she’s ever known drowned in silk. The unfeeling machine of labor and worship crafted over an age by her liege and mother, Grand Mother Silk, now permanently spun to destruction. Whatever the spider did, it severed the connection between Lace and her mother-god, forcing her to face what remains of Pharloom with a mind burdened by new autonomy and emotions; burdens almost as heavy as a trail of riddles left behind by the red-cloaked warrior. Is Lace caught in another web?
Newly fragile and spiraling out of control, Lace is unable to resist the lure of an order, especially one given by the most interesting thing ever to happen to her. What remains of Hornet will lead her on a quest spanning the breadth of her now dying kingdom and show her that some paths cannot be taken alone.

Summary
Hornet awakens at the bottom of a mossy ravine, exhausted, head aching. Light from above glints on the bent and broken wires of her golden cage as mossmirs chirp away in the distance. What a peaceful, verdant paradise to wake in. But how did she end up here?
After all, she had been escaping the Void with Lace just moments ago.
Or,
Hornet wakes up in Moss Grotto for the first time already knowing Pharloom's fate and must find a way to overthrow the kingdom's corrupt rule before the Haunting can ever come to pass.

Summary
“Are you well?” It was a loaded question. Hornet had just brought Lace’s world crashing down on top of her, unraveled everything she had ever known. How could Lace possibly be well?
“How considerate of you, spider, to ask only now.” Lace’s tone held some degree of bite, but Hornet could tell that she was exhausted by her time possessed by void. “Not when you stole Mother’s affections, not when you shredded my pathetic shell and crushed my desires, but only now.”
Or:
The aftermath of Pharloom's severing from void.

Summary
Having a child isn't so bad, as long as they don't make the same mistakes you do.
Watching the Pale King and his Gendered Child interact is always a strange sight. The King is so elusive and distant - watching a little weaver follow behind him and ask a thousand questions per hour while he patiently answers each and every one is silly, but sweet.
Whenever the Gendered Child comes to the White Palace, her father does his level best to teach her everything he knows, in the desperate hope that she'll know better than him someday.

Summary
Lace's rebellion against her mother fails. When Hornet is abducted from Hallownest, there is nothing to disrupt her bindings long enough to allow her to break free of the Envoy's clutches. She finds herself imprisoned alongside a dirty, frayed thing that tells her it can help her take vengeance... if only she helps it escape the Cradle first.
