“It’s the athame,” Alaric says.

“Gesundheit.”

He shakes his head with a grimace on his face. “It’s a ceremonial dagger, used by warlocks to steal someone’s power.”

You turn the weapon over, its steel blade adorned with intricate sigils that glint in the light. Perhaps Dara may know, with her knowledge of concepts once found only in a child’s imagination or bedtime fairy tales.

“I can hear them, too.” Alaric frowns. “I think they’re the souls of…” He lowers his head, a heavy silence filling the air.

Heat radiates through your throat as if it’s on fire.
