    Summary

    It was just cavalier and necromancer -- two perfect Lyctors -- in a room that smelled like rust and dirty socks.

    Alone.

    Which meant, Gideon knew, Harrowhark was finally free to do whatever she wanted. What she had been dying to do ever since she’d seen Gideon alive and back in her own body.

    And what Harrowhark Nonagesimus wanted, more than anything else in the universe, was, of course, to yell at Gideon Nav.

    Summary

    Harrow's favourite saint: Simeon Stylites. Ascetic, lived thirty-six years on top of a pillar, platform two metres square, ten metres up in the air.

    They sent Simeon food up in baskets. Little baby Harrow always found that part fascinating – the idea that someone would lock themselves away and make themselves useless and do nothing but exist, and that despite that uselessness, that madness, the villagers would still come together two times a day and send baskets full of olives and bread up via some kind of elaborate pulley-system they had constructed.

    She told her therapist once that that’s what love meant to her. The pulley system. The baskets.

    Summary

    Harrowhark Nonagesimus and Gideon Nav have always been at each other’s throats, and the animosity has only intensified since the death of Harrow’s parents. But when a car accident leaves Gideon without any memories of her past, Harrow sees a chance at the clean slate she’s wanted for years. Becoming involved in Gideon’s recovery assuages some of the guilt, but as she and Gideon become closer and increasingly involved in each other's lives, Harrow worries that some of her secrets may be more than she can atone for.

    Summary

    Not much hugging happened in the Ninth. That doesn't mean Gideon isn't willing to try it out.

    Summary

    I am going to send you some images. YOU ARE NOT TO OPEN THESE IN PUBLIC. Once you respond to this message, you are going to put your phone back in your pocket. Do NOT look at it again until you are back home. Do you understand?

    Gideon suddenly feels hot.

    She takes a deep breath to calm herself before finally opening her message thread with Harrow.

    And then she burst out laughing.
