Wound Quote by Blood of Tyrants Naomi Novik

“Laurence reached up to wipe the grime from his face, and finding his hand come away red with gore felt back to where his scalp hung open and wet. "Help me fold it up again," he said. "A head wound is always a bloody nuisance; but unless my brains are out in the air, I suppose it will not kill me.” quote by Blood of Tyrants Naomi Novik
