    Summary

    The apocalypse has come and gone, and against all odds, Pharloom remains standing. The time has come for Hornet to return to Hallownest, accompanied by friends and allies: Shakra hopes to explore the mythical land beyond the wastes, and properly lay to rest a member of her own tribe; Lace fears unraveling without the aid of a Weaver, while contending with the immensity of a future free of her mother’s threads; and the Green Prince lives only only to spite the Citadel, passively seeking a more honorable end than might be found in the rubble of his homeland.

    Meanwhile, Hornet returns from Pharloom with magic and knowledge that might aid in the slow recovery of Hallownest and Deepnest–and perhaps offer the chance to call home the sibling she once thought lost to her forever.

    Summary

    After Abyss, Hornet returns to a Pharloom without a monarch. The peace and freedom she has sought for herself and the common bugs is now accompanied by grief of what was lost, and an uncertainty of what is to come. Hornet has much remaining to offer Pharloom, and for herself a journey to understand the heritage of dominance.

    Summary

    "Hope is like a poison, rotting the host from the inside out. Lifts you up high only to dash you against the rocks. My chum here knows all about that. Don't ya, chum?"

    The Caretaker wanted nothing more than to rot in peaceful silence within the First Shrine. But thanks to a meddlesome Bellringer, a greedy merchant, a boisterous knight, and—worst of all—a naive pilgrim named Sherma who refuses to stop singing, his solitude is thoroughly ruined.

    This is a journal of the end of days. A record of a shabby refugee camp called Songclave, of the fools who gathered there, and of a grumpy old Snail Shaman who learned, far too late, that he might actually care about them.

    Summary

    From her mother, she learned the importance of making her own way, of charting her own path, even when it means standing apart from others.

    From her mentor, she learned to be a survivor, to see the vicissitudes of the world they are without embellishment, and to face them well prepared.

    From her father, she learned… From him-

    From her step-mother, she learned to carry suffering and disgrace with dignity and elegance, and to let sorrow be her teacher when it could not be avoided.
