Slowly, he turns to look at me, and the air freezes in my lungs.
I've never seen anything more terrifying and heartbreakingly beautiful in the same breath.

A lump forms in my throat. "Kaziel, what were those weapons? They hurt you."
"Celestial tech," he says through gritted teeth. "Made from the ashes of fallen seraphs. The only thing that can pierce a tribrid's skin."
