The old dwarf Billford reaches deep beneath Estragos’s outstretched wing and pulls out a small amber ring. He holds it up to the sun, squeezing his left eye shut. “It will instill fury in your heart,” he grumbles, “and protect thyself from scalding hot flame.

Dante’s Inferno Marketing Team Now Committing Murder to Boost Sales
