Devoured Crossword Clue Novels & Stories

It was Elena Voss — Cassian’s former business partner and ex-lover from years before Sera. “You,” Sera breathed. Elena smiled coldly. “You thought Meridian was the only one who knew the truth? I’ve been waiting six years to destroy the man who used me and then threw me away for his little secretary.” She held up a drive. “This contains everything. And I’m going to use it… unless you convince your husband to give me back what he owes me.” The trap had been set long before Meridian. And it was far more personal than they ever imagined.

"The Devourer will consume you all." That night, Elara had her most terrifying vision yet. She stood before the stone door, but it was wide open. Darkness poured out, swallowing the world. Wolves screamed. The pack house crumbled. And in the center of it all, the Devourer—a shape of pure shadow, with eyes like dying stars. This is what comes, a voice whispered. Unless you stop it. Elara woke screaming. Kael held her, rocking her gently. "I'm here. I'm here."

Something about Reverend McIlvian, also? The nightmare’s dread fingers finally faded. I turned off the lamp and settled back down to sleep. As I drifted off, however, two thoughts bubbled to the surface. One: I thought I’d finally identified the markings carved on the altar. They were, insanely enough, like the yellow sign on the onyx stone set in McIlvian’s ring. Two? Bobby Simmons had been in the nightmare. Kneeling next to me. Feasting on one of the dead skinned dogs, tearing at its rancid and bloating flesh like a wild animal . . .

“Room service, Jace speaking. Good evening, how may I help?” “Same order,” the client said coldly, a hint of boredom in his deep voice. “Send it up hot.” The line clicked dead after that, and despite serving more than once now, the coldness still felt unfamiliar to him. He wasn’t even polite enough to give a “thank you” or “please”. Jace sighed and pulled the latest ticket from the printer. A rare steak, sautéed mushrooms, and a bottle of 2018 Cabernet. The order was complicated, of course—except the man who ordered it.

Xal'dar, drawing upon his dwindling memories of Xylos' forgotten libraries, scoured for knowledge of similar creatures from his world. One evening, as they huddled around a flickering candle, Xal'dar slammed a weathered scroll on the table. "The Devourer," he rasped, his voice laced with a newfound urgency. "That's what the creature is called. A being born from the essence of a dying world, its sole purpose to consume and destroy." Evie's heart hammered against her ribs. "Is there anything in the text about defeating it?" Xal'dar shook his head, despair clouding his eyes. "Only legends… whispers of a weapon forged from the combined essence of two worlds, a weapon capable of banishing the Dev

“The reason Aren accepted absolute authority in the first place.” Another impact shook the city. Luna grabbed Darius’s hand. Caelan whispered the name as cracks appeared across the crystal floor. “The Devourer.” Onyx went pale. He remembered. Luna saw it instantly. “What does it devour?” Onyx looked at her. His answer came quietly. “Choice.”

"The Devourer was the oldest and the most hungriest, he was the one the first wolves feared most." "You know about it?" "I know the stories." I said. "The other four powers were bad enough, they consumed life, drained territories, fed on anything that moved.” “But the Devourer was different, he didn't just consume life, he consumed everything, land, magic, memory. Even other powers." Luca stared at me. "It ate the others?" "Eventually." I nodded. "By the time the first wolves bound them, the Devourer had already consumed two of the original five. It was the reason the others agreed to the binding they were afraid of it too."

Mark looked Emma up and down with an expression that told her he liked what he saw. “I have to agree with Jess. You should join us.” Mark's smile reminded Emma of a documentary she had seen about starving wolves. “That is kind of you, but I’m waiting for someone,” she told him and drained the last of her drink. As by magic, Veronica appeared on the other side of the bar. “Another one Emma? Something for your friends?” she asked. “Yes please,” Emma told Veronica. “Please, order what you like. It’s on me,”Emma turned to Jess and Mark. Really, it was on Bane, but Emma didn’t think he would mind. Jess and Mark both ordered, and Veronica disappeared to get their drinks.
