The Dread: the Fallen Kings Cycle: book Two
“What Kiara had at first glance taken to be rope, she now recognized as a sorcerer’s cord, used to create a second circle of warding. Tice, Allestyr, Kiara, Cerise, Balaren, Royster, and Jorven stood in a circle, close enough to touch each other, with the pedestal in the center. Antoin and Captain Remir remained outside, on guard. Felix chanted in a low voice as he moved slowly around the small group, letting the coil slip to the ground to form a circle as he walked. Kiara felt the tingle of str...ong magic and thought she glimpsed a faint iridescence in the air when Felix had closed the circle.

Taking the chalice in one hand and holding the dagger in the other, he moved to Tice first. Tice held out his right hand, palm up. Felix made a cut on Tice’s palm deep enough to coat the edge of the blade in blood and then let the blood drip from the blade into the chalice so that it mingled with the wine.MoreLess
