Theory: the butterfly at the end of The Priory of the Orange Tree is Kwiriki.
Kwiriki was known to take the form of a butterfly, and at the same time as Tané notices the butterfly, we find that the stitches in her side have opened, and she’s bleeding.
Previously in the book, Tané recalled climbing a mountain and getting the overwhelming sense that Kwirki was both ‘with her’ and ‘within her’
We know that when Tané was a child, her parents put the jewel in her side to keep it safe. I think that when that happened, Kwiriki took the form of a butterfly and slipped inside too, perhaps to keep the jewel safe, or to keep Tané safe, or both.
Then at the end of Priory, the jewel has been removed from Tané’s body, the Nameless One is defeated, and Kwiriki no longer needs to be so close to Tané to protect her, so he slips out again. When Tané thought of Kwiriki as being ‘within her’ he was literally within her; in her side, along with the jewel.

Eadaz uq-Nāra - Midjourney Bot generated pictures
Hi guys! With the help of Midjourney Bot, I generated illustrations of how Eadaz uq-Nāra looks like (from the book description). Which of these is closest to how you imagine her?

'To be kin to a dragon,' Nayimathun said... 'You must have the blood of the sea, and the sea is not always pure. It is not any one thing. There is darkness in it, and danger, and cruelty. It can raze great cities with its rage. Its depths are unknowable; they do not see the touch of the sun. To be a Miduchi is not to be pure, Tané. It is to be the living sea. That is why I chose you. You have a dragon's heart!'
‘The Priory of the Orange Tree’ by Samantha Shannon

Illumicrate’s Roots of Chaos set made me literally cry by putting my favourite quote on the back:
“To be kin to a dragon, you must not only have a soul of water. You must have the blood of the sea, and the sea is not always pure. It is not any one thing. There is darkness in it, and danger, and cruelty. It can raze great cities with its rage. Its depths are unknowable; they do not see the touch of the sun.”
That illustration is glorious *__*
Here together with the Day of Fallen Night one
Also the naked covers fit together, how cool is that?
Bonus for the Waterstones copy. I’ve seen other signed endpapers before but this is my enchanting favourite:
The Broken Binding set is apparently still available too, if you want it
