Empire of Storms (Throne of Glass, #5)

by Sarah J. Maas

“I promise you that no matter how far I go, no matter the cost, when you call for my aid, I will come. I promise you on my blood, on my family’s name, that I will not turn my back on Terrasen as you have turned your back on me. I promise you, Darrow, that when the day comes and you crawl for my help, I will put my kingdom before my pride and not kill you for this. I think the true punishment will be seeing me on the throne for the rest of your miserable life.”

“Don’t waste your energy worrying about what could have been.”

“You spoke from your heart. Perhaps it’s good he heard that.”

“The fear of loss … it can destroy you as much as the loss itself.”

“Do not mistake my silence for lack of feeling. I have good reason to keep my thoughts to myself.”
