Daughter of Smoke & Bone Chapter 49

Teeth

• Finally: it's the moment we've all been waiting for. What's the deal with all the teeth?
• "Brimstone was a resurrectionist" (49.7).
• Huh?
• We learn about Brimstone through the story of Madrigal's sister Chiro's death... and rebirth.
• Somehow, dude is able to create a new body for a dead chimaera by making a necklace of teeth and gemstones. Madrigal was the lucky gal who got to make her sister's necklace.
• The resurrected are called revenants, and they have hamsas—the eye tattoos on their palms, just like Karou has.
• Oh.
• That purity talk from before? It has nothing to do with virginity.
• It means you haven't died and been resurrected. (Yet.)
• Anyway, after all this backstory, we're back to Madrigal fretting about a dance.
• She decides it's time to take a bath and think things over.
