Neither Frost nor Kitsune seemed to react to this pronouncement, however, and the fox-womans expression seemed to brighten considerably at the mention of her hunting in the fields. The idea was faintly repulsive to Oliver, making him think of cats who dragged birds and mice home to leave their broken, bloody bodies on their masters threshold as some sort of offering.

Konigen spread his arms with the rasp of husk against husk, and regarded the others gathered there. Appleseed is dead. Aerico destroyed him.

Withered him.

There was a rattle of leaves and branches that had nothing to do with the wind.

Most of the Harvest are not Borderkind, and the Myth Hunters have ignored those amongst us who are . . . until now, Konigen continued, focusing on Frost. His expression darkened with a crinkling of the husks that composed his face. But along the wayside and in the fields and orchards we have heard the stories of dark deeds. Of murder.

Julenisse, Nicolai Chudovorits, Sinter Klaas, Pater Cronos, al of them dead.

The winter man had been remarkably silent for some time and Oliver wondered if his injuries had taken a greater tol on him than he was wil ing to admit.

The icicles of his hair fel over his forehead and he shuddered, hunched with grief.
