Glow of the Everflame (Kindred's Curse, #2)

by Penn Cole

“I will accept whatever punishment you give. Lash me. Throw me in the dungeon. Banish me from the family. Exile me, if you must. But I made a promise.” His face lowered almost imperceptibly to mine. “And I keep my promises, my Queen. Whatever the cost.”

Like a moth to a flame, I was drawn to his glow, even as my wings burned and curled in the intensity of his fire.

“I don’t care if he’s in the afterlife. If he hurt you, I’ll find a way to make him pay.”

“Luther would throw himself on a sword for you. He would risk everything to protect you.”

“I would have walked into the flaming heart of the sun itself,” he shot back. “If you are suffering, nothing will keep me from coming to your aid. Least of all something as trivial as death.”
