"I know you want to think they're a good person. People always do. But the truth of the matter is: they're not, and they never have been, and they never will be."

𝐋𝐢𝐟𝐞 𝐢𝐬 𝐧𝐨𝐭, 𝐝𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐡 𝐢𝐬 𝐧𝐨𝐭--
Jolyne wears a heavy coat.
Time has treated them cruelly, marring their features with scars and blood. Time has made them twisted, and wrong, and unnatural. Time has fought to kill them as hard as they've fought to stay alive.
Cairnholm has made them kind, and gentle, and merciful-- a privilege before unknown. The same hands that once shed blood now turn pages of bedtime stories, and mold clay beside passive-aggressive deadrisers, and tend gardens. Their scars have faded. Their titles are buried.
Yet when the descendant of an ex-loop member stumbles into their safe little world, something shakes loose in Jolyne's carefully built walls, and they're keen to remind the monsters that hunt their friends why they were once known as the King of Ghosts.

Or, in which Jolyne Stoker learns that silence cannot heal, but the blond necromancer might just do the trick.
