> > > Then Harrow cocked her head to the side like a quizzical bird and smiled a tiny, contemptuous smile. (Chapter 2)

> > > The necromancer could not hide a triumphant smile. It stretched her mouth and made her split lips bleed. The sight was incomparably creepy. (Chapter 14)

> > > Harrow’s lips curled. They showed her teeth, stained slightly pink with blood. She smiled again—slower than before, just as terrible, just as strange. (Chapter 14)

> > > Harrowhark smiled. This smile was unusual too: it betokened conspiracy, which was normal, except that this one invited Gideon to be part of it. Her eyes glowed like coals with sheer collusion. Gideon didn’t know if she could handle all these new expressions on Harrow: she needed a lie down. (Chapter 16)

> > > A small, astonished smile creased her mouth. The smile transformed her face into an affliction of beauty that Gideon had heretofore managed to ignore. (Chapter 32)

> > > Gideon looked over her shoulder at her, and caught the Reverend Daughter’s smile. There was blood sweat coming out of her left ear, but her smile was long and sweet and beautiful. (Chapter 36)

> > > The Reverend Daughter of the Ninth House smiled, tiny and triumphant. Then she keeled into Gideon’s arms. Gideon stumbled, sick with terror, kneeling them both down to the ground as Harrow lay like a broken rag doll. She forgot her sword, forgot everything as she cradled her used-up adept. She forgot the wrecked ligaments in her sword arm, her messed-up knee, the cups of blood she’d lost, everything but that tiny, smouldering, victorious smile. (Chapter 36)

> Of course orpheus had to turn around to look at eurydice. Because he loved her. The only way he wouldn’t have… was if he had forgotten she was there at all.

> > “Why would the emperors own lyctors hate him?”

> “Augustine the First,” said the man who was God, and the God who was man. “My first saint. My first hand, and fist, and gesture. Will you swear your loyalty to me again, clean slate, fresh start? Or not?”

> He murmured, “You said there was no forgiveness.”

> “‘I pardon him, as God shall pardon me,’” said the Emperor. “Come, swear your loyalty, my son—my brother—beloved—Lyctor—Bestie.”

> “So false, Worstie,” said Augustine.

> [ID: A drawing of Dulcinea, Camilla, Harrow, Palamedes, and Gideon from The Locked Tomb trilogy. Dulcinea sits in a wheelchair and props one arm up on her thigh. She looks down and smiles slightly. Camilla sits cross-legged and props her chin up with an arm on her leg. Harrow sits in the center with her knees tucked to her chest. She crosses her arms and rests them on her knees. She frowns. Palamedes lays on his side in the front. He smiles slightly and props his head up with one hand. Gideon kneels with one leg up. She rests a hand on her knee and smiles. End ID]
