Devil's String

There is a certain contradiction at work in this bow. It's handle and limbs are made from a pristine white wood, banded in silver and ivory. The bowstring, however, is a thick dark strand of sinew born of no earthly creature you can imagine. It bears the blackness of empty midnight. Dark burns mar the top and bottom of the bow's nocks, as if some great conflagration has seared the foul string into place.
