Jackson quelled him with a look.
Keilor, who, like Jayems, had said very little until now, said mildly, “Even Haunt band together against a common enemy, or to trade, Tilus.”
“Who should speak but the Haunt who's sired a half-breed abomination in the belly of his charmer?” sneered Tor Maphin. “We shouldn't wonder that you'd take their side. You and Mathin the Mad, with his fool’s talk of alliances.”
A muscle ticked in Keilor's jaw, but it was Jayems who said with cool challenge, “The charmer is not only my cousin, Tor, but she saved my wife's life and the life of my child. Show some intelligence and cry peace.”
