Obsidian Shards (2007)

by Aliette de Bodard
(#1 in Obsidian and Blood (Prequel))

The obsidian shard, half the size of my palm, lay in my hand: a sharp, deadly thing still stained with blood. Its black surface shimmered with green reflections, and it quivered with the aura I associated with the underworld: blood and pain and death. Odd, to say the least. One did not find such objects in a dead warrior’s house.
