Mills scratches at the frozen skin of a hardscrabble land, unleashing a tale that seeps forth like lifeblood from a cold wound. Worthy of the skalds of old.

Quotes by Coy Hall (?)

“The stench of decayed flesh mixed with the charred village, and he wondered if he smelled the villagers or the festering wound above his ear. That was the world in which he lived - a world in which that quandary could occur to a man.”
― Coy Hall, Grimoire of the Four Impostors

“Hyacinth understood the power of pageantry and the allure of secrecy. Each of these things alone bent wills, but the mixture of both intoxicated. She'd learned this truth from either the Church or the French.”
― Coy Hall, Grimoire of the Four Impostors
