Description: From behind us, a rough voice intruded, “Which of you is the mantis?” My eyes met Diomedes’ briefly as we glanced over our shoulders at the man who’d spoken.

“I don’t need omens to know I have troubles,” Kalliphoros said. “I’m losing men. Along the road and in the orchard, they’ve all been found cut open and bled. Six so far–barbarians all. The Parthians claim they’ve been killed by beasts. The Bactrians say someone is sacrificing to what they call a god of lies.”
