The Throne of Broken Gods (Gods & Monsters, #2)

by Amber V. Nicole

“When I burn this world to embers, and you paint me as the villain, remember, I really did try to be good… once.”

“I never once said that I was good. That is just a fable you all tell yourselves, I suppose. You tell yourselves that I will show mercy. You believe that to be the law and govern the realms, I have to at least be neutral, but sometimes a king has to be a monster.”

We can do this dance until this world burns and the next takes its place, but I will still choose you.”

“Do it.” I angled the tip of her blade above my heart. “If you are truly gone, I refuse to live in a world without you, so you’ll have to angle it farther to the right. That’s where a god’s heart lies, and mine already belongs to you, so do with it what you will.”

Grieving is another form of love, Dianna. Do not unlove her by burying it.

Love was nothing but magic in its purest form.
