“A chaotic mix of emotions churned inside him. Relief. Anger. Longing. She was the last person in the world he wanted to see. She was the only person in the world he wanted to see.”
Laura Oliva, Season Of The Witch

“I think when magic is dark enough, it can look like anything it wants.”
Laura Oliva, Season Of The Witch

“Even her beauty had sharp edges. Her long ebony hair was cut like a razor blade. Her face was strong and fine.But her eyes. A milky green, they betrayed an air of vulnerability she seemed desperate to hide.”
Laura Oliva, All That Glitters
