“A wager?" I repeated.
"Yes," he said, and gave me a slow smile, bright with challenge. ...
"Stake?" I asked cautiously. He was still smiling, an odd sort of smile, hard to define.
"A kiss." My first reaction was outrage, but then I remembered that I was on my way to Court, and that had to be the kind of thing they did at Court. And if I win I don't have to collect. I hesitated only a moment longer, lured by the thought of open sky, and speed, and winning.
"Done," I said.”

“But the effect of her being on those around her was incalculably diffusive: for the growing good of the world is partly dependent on unhistoric acts; and that things are not so ill with you and me as they might have been, is half owing to the number who lived faithfully a hidden life, and rest in unvisited tombs.”

Thank you! (I don't know if you know this, or would care, but there are several scenes from Vidanric's point of view at the end of the e-book edition.)

Hey thank you for accepting my friend request i just wanted to tell you that crown duel is one of my all time favorite books EVER! It is honestly awesome.
That's sort of complicated--the YA ones or the adult ones? In publication order or in time, if you mean the ones set on Sartorias deles? For the latter, there is a chart on my webpage showing where the SD ones fit together:
Hi, I am attempting to read all of your books and I was wondering if you had a suggested order in which I should try to read them. Thanks.
Sherwood, thanks for accepting request :DLooking forward to enjoying your books, have seen good reviews.
And good to see you. Your author photo looks positively badass; but then, you are, so fair enough. I am always here in NYC! (Well, Brooklyn, but close enough.)
