Widow's Web (Elemental Assassin)
“Over and over again, a tight fist smacked into my ribs right over my heart. An uncomfortable sensation, especially when I’d been so peaceful just a moment before, drifting along in that calm, soothing, unending blackness . . .

After a few moments, I managed to open my eyes and found a face right there on the dirt next to mine—but it wasn’t the one that I expected.MoreLess
