More than once.” “Like I said, I don’t always pay attention,” he admitted. “Let me guess. They’re the third sons and daughters.” “Yes.” Emil drew out the word. “That would be correct. You know what these things are?” “Revenants were Kolis’s pet project. His crowning achievement,” Reaver said. “He used magic to create them—the kind that only worked on them.” Vonetta straightened as I thought of the ledgers. “Why only them?” “Because the third sons and daughters carry embers of eather in them.”
