"The weird black thorns stabbed through their bodies?" Dragan suggested.
"Their most obvious features, yes," Tycon nodded. "Are they native Outsiders?"
"I don't think so," Dragan sighed. "The first time we fought them, I thought they were undead, but that's not exactly right."
The first time?
Tycon wondered if Dragan was withholding information from him... but it seemed unlikely, as the Titanblood had no reason to do so.
Beefy chapter. But this could have been a much worse cliffhanger, no?
