Quotes by Julie J. Anderson (?)

“Running beneath it all was the Tyburn, the dark river connecting all the places of power. It ran like a noxious strand through the weave, interlacing everything and everyone together, yet it was hidden from the view of
the people who crossed it, unknowing, on the surface.”
― Julie J. Anderson, Plague
