Chapter 21

"It's like a prize. A grave for the winner." I shivered. That wasn't a prize I would like to win. The grave, the coming back, being a dead Sorceress. None of it. But I'd come close to winning it all. I wrapped my arms around myself to keep more shivers away.

A spider scuttled out from under his sleeve, then disappeared under his shoe, but he didn't seem to notice. "Do you believe everything I've just told you?"
