“So many men had tried to make her a queen. Now she understood that she was meant for something more. The Darkling had told her he was destined to rule. He had claimed his throne, and a part of her too. He was welcome to it. For the living and the dead, she would make herself a reckoning. She would rise.”

“I told him the story of the day I'd been mending pottery with one of the maids in the kitchen at Keramzin, waiting for him to return from one of the hunting trips that had taken him from home more and more frequently. I'd been fifteen, standing at the counter, vainly trying to glue together the jagged pieces of a blue cup. When I saw him crossing the fields, I ran to the doorway and waved. He caught sight of me and broke into a jog. I had crossed the yard to him slowly, watching him draw closer, baffled by the way my heart was skittering around in my chest. Then he'd picked me up and swung me in a circle, and I'd clung to him, breathing in his sweet, familiar smell, shocked by how much I'd missed him. Dimly, I'd been aware that I still had a shard of that blue cup in my hand, that it was digging into my palm, but I didn't want to let go. When he finally set me down and ambled off into the kitchen to find his lunch, I had stood there, my palm dripping in blood, my head still spinning, knowing that everything had changed. Ana Kuya had scolded me for getting blood on the clean kitchen floor. She'd bandaged my hand and told me it would heal. But I knew it would just go on hurting.”
So lovely.

Whoa whoa wait. How do I acquire Ruin and Rising nail polish?!
Oh, you mean theeees?
Here’s how to get it:
1. Wear a Grisha-inspired ensemble to my Los Angeles launch party on June 16th.
2. Come to an event! I can’t bring the polish through airport security, so we’re shipping it ahead to select tour events and cons this summer. Come and find me and hopefully I’ll have pretty, pretty things with which to gift you.

He smiled. “Go on, stamp your foot, fight your true nature. All the while, your country suffers.”
"Because of you!"
"Because I put my trust in a girl who cannot stand the thought of her own potential."
"I know what you feel when you’re with the tracker," he said.
"I doubt that."
He gave a dismissive wave. “No, not the absurd pining you’ve yet to outgrow. I know the truth in your heart. The loneliness. The growing knowledge of your own difference. He leaned in closer. “The ache of it.”
"I don’t know what you’re talking about."
"It will never fade, Alina. It will only grow worse, no matter how many scarves you hide behind or what lies you tell, no matter how far or how fast you run. There are no others like us, Alina. And there never will be.”

"I don’t care if you think I’m a Saint or a fool or the Darkling’s whore. If you want to remain at the Little Palace, you will follow me. And if you don’t like it, you will be gone by tonight, or I will have you in chains. I am a soldier. I am the Sun Summoner. And I’m the only chance you have.”
