Kindle Notes & Highlights
It was not the first time they had come across these cursed men in their year of travel.
A FUCKING YEAR?!?!?!?!?
According to Kipp, the Moonfire Eclipse only happened every century and symbolised a great shift in the magic of their world, wherein light triumphed over darkness.
She’d cast the fucking thing into the seas, only to have it find her again hours later. No one could escape fate, or time.
For whatever reason, her connection to the storms had severed.
Because of your rage babes
strong of mind, strong of body, strong of heart.
That she and Wren came from a royal family of power-hungry traitors and shadow-lovers.
‘I wouldn’t have let you get into camp otherwise.’
KIPP YOU LET HIM IN?!? 😱😱😱
Wilder hesitated. When they’d been together, he’d been able to feel Thea’s power. The hum of it called to him like a song across the seas… but he hadn’t felt it for a long while now.
Kipp kicked the snow. ‘I’m far too clever to be a fool.’
I fucking love him and am feral to understand why Wilder is doing all this nonsense
‘A favour from the Son of the Fox?’ Wilder raised a brow. ‘I’m flattered.’ ‘So you should be. You’ll be needing it before long, Warsword.’
‘There’s a lot to be moody about these days, Adrienne,’
Fucking knew this horseshit was coming
She was always on about how the alignment of the sun, moon and world was a reminder of the interconnectedness of all things. How an eclipse is the lifting of the veil between our world and what’s next – how it gives us access to the gods, to the Furies themselves.’
Wilder Hawthorne reached for the lone piece of hair that had escaped her braid and tucked it behind her ear. ‘Thea…’ he murmured, his voice broken and hoarse.
The anger was there, but there was no sign of her storm powers, no spark of lightning calling out to him to dance with her. Where are you, Princess?
But the shadow-touched are those who fight against the curse when a reaper attempts to turn them. The result is a human with special abilities and wraith traits.
‘You take all the air.’ Hawthorne raked his bound hands through his hair and sighed. ‘It’s me who can’t breathe when I’m around you…’
‘Artos is responsible for the blight upon the midrealms. He’s the one letting the reapers and monsters through the Veil.’
‘But when it’s used on someone you love?’ he said. ‘There is nothing more powerful.’
‘Couldn’t let you die without your vengeance, Princess.’
😂😂😂
‘I still have your marks on my back from our last night together. You claimed me long ago, Thea. You don’t get to say I’m not yours now.’
*swoooooooon*
‘The Thea you knew is dead.’ ‘The Thea I knew had a few more years left, according to that damn stone around her neck.’
This is all fucking brutal
‘I knew from the moment I first kissed you that I’d never think of another woman again. That you were it for me. Despite everything, that hasn’t changed. Nor will it.’
Wilder followed her, as he always would.
Thea needs to walk this man like a dog 👏🏻
Thea, since you’re so determined to watch Hawthorne at all times, you can ride double with him on the stallion.
ONE HORSE I AM DECEASED
haven’t stopped burning for you,’ he growled. ‘And I never will.’
He looked at her as though she were the one thing he’d been starved of his whole life. ‘You’re still in love with me, Thea.’
‘If you need something to believe,’ he said, his blood heating as he closed the gap between them and hauled her body to his, ‘then believe this.’ He kissed her.
it’s from realms far beyond the Veil, from other races that have mastered magical objects in a way that we can’t even fathom. The name is in a language I can’t pronounce, but it’s a memory orb.
‘You’ll understand soon enough, son,’ his father said. ‘Delmira’s fall was not the end of things, boys. A reckoning is coming. And the midrealms will need all the help it can get when it arrives.’
‘Come find me at Thezmarr, little brother,’ he said. ‘We’ll be Warswords together.’
Thea understood exactly what Wilder Hawthorne had been doing for the last twelve months. He had fulfilled his vow to her. He had been training her.
Omg I am floored and in love
‘We’re not following the guild, Thea. We haven’t been for some time.’
She’s so thick lol
‘He loves you. That was never in any doubt. Not to us. I’ll wager that everything he does is for you.’
‘I told myself that it was enough,’ he murmured into her hair, his voice hoarse. ‘That I should be grateful for the time we had. It was more love than most people get in a lifetime. But the truth is, Thea… A thousand lifetimes with you wouldn’t be enough.’
A year had passed. A year was left.
But for our tunnels, it started with connections between five key points.’ ‘The five ruling kingdoms,’ Thea guessed. ‘A little more lowbrow than that… Remember I told you of the connected sister taverns?’
Omg I’m dead 😂😂😂
‘The shadow-touched people are those who fight against the curse when a reaper attempts to turn them…’
She met Anya’s gaze, a storm of desperation, sorrow and regret. It was like looking into a mirror.
‘You didn’t trust me with the truth,’ she said instead, peering up at his face, willing the tears not to fall. ‘You didn’t trust me, full stop,’ he countered, nostrils flaring.
This wrecks me
His lips were intoxicating. He tasted like fire and temptation, like home.
There’s still a lot that needs to be said between us, and I won’t fuck you again until you’re certain. Until you know there’s no coming back from this.’
Thea took a breath. ‘She told her best friend that you would need a warrior fiercer than her to withstand the force of you. Then she told me that I am that warrior, that you found that strength in me. She told me not to let you down.’
‘Tell me what you need,’ he said again. ‘You,’ she told him. ‘It’s always been you.’
‘You’re going to come for me, Thea,’ he told her, his voice thick with lust, curling his fingers inside her until she was half sobbing. ‘You’re going to come hard.’
SAY JUMP AND ILL ASK HOW HIGH 🥵🥵🥵
‘You taste like you belong to me. You always have.’
‘To battle we go, Princess.’
‘I don’t want to go back,’ he said, more firmly this time. ‘Not back to what we once were. But I want to go forward, to what we could be.’
You’re more than your magic, Thea. You’re more than any one thing. And fuck anyone who says otherwise.’
‘You’re friends with the Son of the Fox?’
Kipp is an icon forever and ever, no slander shall be said about this man 😂😂❤️❤️
He was looking at her as though he’d known her his entire life, as though she’d always been a part of him.
