Now, I will pay back the murderers in blood tenfold. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eTheir ruin is a mirror they polished themselves. They took me as a child and hammered me into a weapon. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThey taught me the art of disappearing: how to slip through a room like a shadow at noon, how to dress a face in lies until no one recognizes the man beneath. They taught the small, hands-on cruelties: how to hide poison, how to slit a throat before the man can make a noise. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eMost dangerous of all . . . they taught me patience. They taught me to never quit until the job was completed. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eSo let them sleep in their castles and whisper of safety. Let them keep their cleverness and secrets. I already know their sins. When darkness comes--and it will--I will be the thing beneath the floorboards, the breath on their necks, the quiet that becomes the scream. I will return what they took, multiplied by the cruelty they practiced. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eTheir hands built the blade. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eTheir choices sharpened it. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eTheir blood will be the prize.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Baen\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/04\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781668073353\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 416\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.27lbs","brand":"Shami Stovall","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52679620853941,"sku":"9781668073353","price":23.8,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/one-fifth-dragon-9781668073353","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
