Quotes by P.L. Stuart  (?)

“Perhaps I was not the excellent judge of character that I believed.”
P.L. Stuart, A Drowned Kingdom

“They were just men of flesh and blood, we knew, but it felt as if they were evil spirits, haunting our sight, appearing out of nowhere at every mountainside. We could not escape their unwanted, malevolent gaze.”
P.L. Stuart, A Drowned Kingdom

“Investigation by the townsfolk found the miller's land empty. His grain mill was eerily deserted. The family's dinner was cold, left uneaten on the table. There were no signs of violence, but no signs of the inhabitants either.”
P.L. Stuart, A Drowned Kingdom

“When one kingdom drowns, a new one must rise in its place. So begins the saga of that kingdom, and the man who would rule it all.”
P.L. Stuart, A Drowned Kingdom

“He was unarmed. He was dying on his feet. But he could still kill me if he got close enough. The battle was not over, as he said himself, until one of us was dead. That would not be me.”
P.L. Stuart, A Drowned Kingdom

“Investigation by the townsfolk found the miller's land empty. His grain mill was eerily deserted. The family's dinner was cold, left uneaten on the table. There were no signs of violence, but no signs of the inhabitants either.”
P.L. Stuart, A Drowned Kingdom

“No sane man would charge, uphill, into a line of spears, levelled down at them. Suicide. But that is precisely what our knights did.”
P.L. Stuart, A Drowned Kingdom

“The dimples in the water appeared and disappeared subtly in our wake, as otters swam and played off our stern. It was all so beautiful while going down the Elynlyr, and nothing could have surpassed it except the view of our great city.”
P.L. Stuart, A Drowned Kingdom
