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

by Stacia Stark

Prisca was asking me questions, I would answer them all day simply to hear the sound of her voice.

“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.”
