The Words - Issue #5

In The Philosophy of Trust, seven Words created the universe, but misused The Words can destroy everything. Each Word lets its Speaker rewrite a physical law in the area near them - for four hours. During that time, guardian monks from China quest to locate and kill the Speaker whose ignorance might unmake the earth. Violet reluctantly agreed to help Eric save Walt, but Logan Castro captures them, takes his money back, and orders them killed,.
