Court of Monsters and Malice (The Shadow Bound Queen, #3)

by Eliza Raine

“This is not about me, little liar. This, I am beginning to believe, is about you. Which means you tell me everything, and we work out what the fates you are supposed to do to fix this fucking mess.”

“Ravens call and serpents hiss, All hidden by starlight’s kiss. Violence and vanity, Echoes of lost sanity. No war cries or raised blades Sully these shores or glades. Shadows keep the isle free, Thor’s talisman is the key. Accession or marriage, Royal blood earns passage.”

“I was worried about the imminent exchange of bodily fluids between you two, so I had settled high in the rafters,”

“You will be the death of me, gildi.”

“We will lift this curse.” His voice was even more hoarse than mine. “And when I next lay my hands on you, it will be no dream. It will be the most real, the most consuming, the most obliterating thing you will ever experience. When I take you, it will not just be your body. You will desire for nothing. Never want to leave. You will belong to me.”

“We get the mist-staff, we lift the curse. We kill the Queen. And then I will fill the void in your life, gildi.”
