No doubt witnessing the ghastly death of their father had not helped matters.

‘This tower is the final proof, for it is naught else but Jaghut,
No, the gate is Omtose Phellack. It must be so.’
An adult Jaghut in the warren beyond, coming upon two children not of its own blood, might as easily kill them as adopt them. ‘Then their deaths stain another’s hands, a Jaghut’s.’ Scant comfort, that distinction. It m...
