To humans, Wraith were monsters. Stood to reason, they fed upon people like humans fed upon poultry and cattle. But Wraith only fed upon people to survive. There were only a handful in the long history Todd knew that went above that, feeding for pleasure.
Murder? Wraith took out villages and towns for either associating with a Runner, or ensuring a civilization didn't grow too powerful, because that led to people like the Genii.
Rape? High offence to another wraith or a human, punishable by instant death.
The definition of a sociopath alluded him but he presumed it was no better than the other two.
All three types...and more, all scrambling about in one head? She was tougher than a Wraith queen. But it seemed a fragile barrier she'd put up. Endure the pain of cracked ribs or suffer the minds of criminals. No, she had little choice but to endure.
It was quite incredible.
He smiled a bit and then jerked his head. "Come, let's go get some dinner."
