The pale glow of purple magic surrounded him, knitting his flesh back together. That had been the true gift Eryne had given him: the gift of second life. He could have used it on himself, before, but he had planned to use it on Lily, if she’d needed it. No cauterisation could have saved Atticus now, but it had been enough to save him.
