Tsarina Signet in book 2 — Carl's Doomsday Scenario

Signet's arc on this floor is the drama she stars in. A poster marked TRAITOR (ch. 6); a first meeting that is a Puppy Dog charm and a sacrifice spell aimed at Carl's blood (ch. 6, ch. 7); a broken promise answered with a Water Lily curse on Donut (ch. 8); the story told on the walk — the ringmaster who saved her as a child and whom she loved as a woman, the family transformed, the nightly assault 'for family' (ch. 8, ch. 9); the paper army (ch. 9); and the un-banishment, spoken by Grimaldi through Carl's mouth (ch. 11). She goes into the tent, keeps her word about Donut, and is presumably down the stairs to the Hunting Grounds, where Carl has contracted to meet her story again.
