Empire of Storms (Throne of Glass, #5)

by Sarah J. Maas

“Your beloved’s life and the witch’s are entwined. They have been led here, by forces even we cannot understand.” “Think about it,” Fenrys pushed. “Two females whose paths crossed tonight in a way we’ve rarely witnessed. Two queens, who might control either half of this continent, two sides of one coin. Both half-breeds. Manon, an Ironteeth and a Crochan. Aelin …” “Human and Fae,” Rowan finished for him. “Between them, they cover the three main races of this earth. Between the two of them, they are mortal and immortal; one worships fire, the other Darkness. Do I need to go on? It feels as if we’re playing right into the hands of whoever has been running this game—for eons.” Rowan gave Fenrys a stare that usually had men backing away. Even as he considered it. Gavriel interrupted to say, “Maeve has been waiting, Rowan. Since Brannon. For someone who would lead her to the keys. For your Aelin.”
