Summary
Around St. Peter’s stand the glittering glass buildings of the financial district, an area Kitty had little reason to visit when she was growing up—the West End had been her haunt, and the streets around Camden Market and Hackney: tiny, expensive restaurants with Uncle Jonathan; tiny restaurants with dirt cheap drinks in the company of girls whose names she hardly remembers. Pretty, airy girls, in skirts and floaty blouses, girls with money who thought slumming it was thrilling. Kitty pretending it didn’t make something in her chest ache, just like the London skyline did after a long absence.

Summary
Clement heard Eamon’s boots pound down the front steps, and by the time that faded the house had settled into the quiet that would occupy it until mid January: the humming refrigerator, a ticking clock, the creaking wood of the walls around him like the ribcage of some great beast.

Summary
By the time the matter of the house’s ownership had been settled—Lady Desault had sold it to Lord Scurlock, who had left it to Clement, who then gifted it to Lord Desault, who had by then been declared officially dead for two years (it was, generally speaking, a mess)—but by the time all that had been settled, it was Gratitude.

Summary
Ronan could smell the fire dragon, all carbon and sulphur. Ronan dived for his brother. He dragged him away from the car. He shouted to Kavinsky, “Get down !” But Kavinsky didn’t look away from the two creatures. He said, “The world’s a nightmare.” Horror clawed its way up inside Ronan. It was precisely the feeling he’d had when he realized Kavinsky was going to blow up the Mitsubishi at the substance party. Dust swirled up from the dragon’s wings. Furious, Ronan shouted, “Come down, you bastard !”
Kavinsky didn’t answer. So Ronan told Matthew to run to Gansey and Blue, and hurled himself towards Kavinsky, a thousand curses popping in his head without getting shouted, because there was no time. He grabbed him by the shoulders and threw them both out of the falling dragon’s way. He didn’t see the monsters crash into the Mitsubishi, but the noise was deafening, and the heat something unbearable. And then it was over.
