    Summary

    Harrow Nova—the disgraced, disowned, failure of the Ninth House—stalks the hallways of Drearburh with the chain of Samael slung over her shoulder, the weight as heavy as any noose. In her daylight hours she is haunted by the horrible golden visage of the Daughter and the rope-like scars criss crossing her spine.

    And at night, the Body haunts her dreams.

    Summary

    Everything coming out of your mouth was nonsense, anyway, which is just about normal, except for the fact that I had just pulled you bodily out of a cosmic revenant’s asshole.

    Also, your eyes were bleeding. Joy, I hated it. Red is simply not your colour.

    Mercymorn remembers, and she forgets. John's sins come back to haunt him. Augustine can't do anything but watch.

    Summary

    "I've got you," the voice says, again. The sound is so close. It’s soft, almost warm. There's something about that voice that she wants to chase, that fills her with fear and revulsion and a deep, yawning ache for something she does not understand. She wants to lean into it. She wants to be consumed by it.

    (The Corpse Prince wakes up. It hurts.)

    Summary

    People, it turns out, are horny for depression. Or maybe it’s that people are horny for depressed gods. Or maybe enduring betrayal on a literally cosmic scale makes people hotter. Or maybe the death drive is real, and the many-tongued abyss’s breath is still thick in your hair, and it makes everyone want to move closer and take a big, deep whiff. Or maybe you’re God, and they’re scared.

    Or: John Gaius meets his daughter, remembers the women he left behind, and deals poorly with being the male god of a universe in which the divine is essentially feminine.
