Shadows So Cruel (Court of Ravens, #2)

by Liv Zander

“That leaves me with a lifetime to show you that I can do better. With you by my side… I can. And maybe, with prayers, I can regain your heart.”

“Loved you when I told myself I did not.

Loved you when I told you that nobody ever would.”

“My love is not gentle, or tender, or easy. But it is real, grown from hate and pain deep inside a chest sullied by shadows. It is cutting and biting, leaving behind scars as unfading as my love for you.” His warm lips scathed my jawline. “And once we are gone from this earth, I will continue to love you among the stars. I will be the night, the darkest patch of sky around you, just to ensure that everyone can see how you sparkle. And once your light starts fading, I will take you into my black embrace, and that is where I will love you beyond death.”
