Summary
It was strange, how far away and blunted all sensations were to her. Most days, Gideon felt exactly like the thing she was: a ghost piloting an expired meat suit. But when Harrow slowly, cautiously bridged the space between them and her hand found Gideon's in the sheets, Gideon could have sworn that she registered the heat of her skin.
[Harrow rescues a Tower Prince and they fight their way out of the castle while arguing the entire time.]

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.

Summary
Sir Gideon Nav is the youngest knight in the Ninth Kingdom of the Empire. Princess Harrowhark is the heir to the throne, and a talented mage. Childhood friends turned rivals and enemies, they've both left scars on each other.
When Lady Dulcinea of the Seventh shows up at their gates with plague symptoms, Gideon is immediately smitten. Over Harrow's protests, Gideon volunteers to care for her. But Dulcinea is not what she seems, and everything goes horribly wrong.
Now Gideon and Harrow are on the run, in disguise as a married peasant couple, trying to get to Harrow's allies in the Sixth Kingdom—with magic and monsters in hot pursuit.
