The Trio of Sacrifices That Awakens Jack Grey
Jules and Richard complete the trio of offerings their land's pagan myth demands: Jules deliberately lets Owen die of his asthma attack, Jules fatally stabs Richard's colleague, and Richard murders Harrie. Together with the oak tree roots Richard unearths at the dig, these sacrifices awaken the hare spirit Jack Grey and bind the couple as vessels of the deity.
