He had learned to live with them, and the occasional flashback, accepting the fact that this was just how it was going to be?the price he had to pay.

No hay nada más peligroso que un rostro familiar Un grito corta el aire en un entierro en el cementerio de Ragmullin. Encogido en el fondo de una tumba abierta yace el cuerpo semienterrado de una joven.
