LOGINI clenched my fists, but didn’t allow myself to react.Slowly, I looked from him to Kyrell, still in full bow.“Get up,” I said.Kyrell lifted his head but not his eyes as he rose to his feet.I turned my back on them.“Your doubts are justified,” I said quietly. “I’ve spent years running from respo
He had hoped — just like me — that Deathless Death wouldn’t work.But it had.Because Asher made sure it would.That was why he oversaw every step of its creation.Back then, I thought he had an enemy he hated enough to build a weapon like this.I didn’t realize it was himself.I looked at Kyrell.“
