# The Girl Who Learned to Kill
Perhaps you have wondered, after following Eris Igniva through these blood-soaked pages, why a young woman would devote herself so completely to a monster.
Why Mira would serve the Fire Witch with the kind of loyalty usually reserved for saints and saviors.
Why she would endure torture, starvation, the threat of death itself, and never once betray the woman who burned kingdoms to ash.
The answer, as most tragic answers are, is simple.
Because Eris Igniva was the only person who ever looked at Mira and didn't see a victim.
She saw a survivor.
And sometimes, that makes all the difference.
Mira's mother died bringing her into the world.
