Serenica read through the first book in one evening. The central topic was the trinity doctrine of the soul. A whole person consisted of a will, a spirit - or, according to old texts, a breath, but that was merely semantics - and a body. If one of them was taken away, the result would be something like a living dead, a puppet of some kind, or a ghost, but in order to get the dead to function as informants a new will needed to be added into the mix.
Serenica read through diagrams and long lists of things deadrousers needed to avoid. She had to admit Spade had been doing well, ticking none of the boxes. He was careful.
Sighing, she pushed the book away. Myorka's words about suitors rang around in her head. It was true that she was addicted to working, to things and concepts, at the expense of her love life. She didn't know if she even sought for lips upon hers.
She did not, after all, have any suitors that she knew of.
