A Kingdom This Cursed and Empty (Kingdom of Lies, #2)

by Stacia Stark

“Hate me, rage against me, refuse to admit what you feel. But don’t you dare treat me like a stranger.”

“I’ve gone my whole life feeling like I’m holding my breath. Like my lungs are burning. Like I’m desperately fighting for each gasp of air. But when you’re around, I can…breathe. And I’m furious at you, because when that ends…when we’re forced apart, I don’t know how I’ll take a full breath without you.”

Don’t you know by now? I would have found you. No matter what happens, I will always find you.”
