Story 279: The Revenant’s Gambit

A source in the underground had tipped them off: eliminate the revenant, and they’d strike a deep blow to the King’s defenses.

“Are you ready for this?” Mira whispered, her eyes darting to the shadowed corners of the building.

Damien gave a curt nod, his senses on high alert. “This isn’t just another zombie. Revenants are stronger and nearly impossible to kill. We’ll have to be smart.”
