Book Excerpt:
How much agony can a man endure before he surrenders every precious thought of the woman he holds most dear? I've lost count of the successive days of torture. Time after time, long, flat strips of glowing hot iron are pressed onto my exposed arms and legs. They sear away the flesh, layer by layer, almost to the bone, and the pungent smell of charring meat and the crackling of curling skin dominate my senses. I struggle to keep a lucid image of Annemarie’s beautiful smile in mind and remember the gentle touch of her soft fingertips as they glide across the coarse skin of my cheek. It’s the only string of goodness that remains from my vanishing humanity, but the torment of every exposed nerve scratches at my soul, seeking to push me beyond the edges of insanity.
Like a vise clamped on a piece of wood, my teeth clench into my lower lip until they eventually pierce through. I’m repulsed by the sour, metallic taste of my demon blood, but the pain refocuses my determination and keeps me from begging for mercy. The pain will stop if I surrender what remains of my broken humanity. As another bolt of pain tears at my body, I tighten my jaw again. I can’t crumble on Bethany’s table. I refuse to give her the pleasure.

"Rotting Elf." She threw a dagger with extra force. "I love you." She threw another. "Why aren't you here?" And another. "Why–" Her voice cracked and her hand dropped mid-throw. "I need you," she whispered into the empty room.  ~Aro
"Such expressions on your face. What are you thinking?"His smile was soft, kind…and she didn't trust it for a moment. "Want to make another try at reading my thoughts?"Sultry lips twisted into a wry grin. "I think not." ~Baelan and Aro
"But he left, and he'd promised he wouldn't." Unable to keep still, she crossed her arms and let her feet wander. Garen watched her pace for a few moments and then sat, crossing his legs. "Sometimes, we can't always keep our promises."
