Goldfinch (The Plated Prisoner, #6)

by Raven Kennedy

“I’ll always find you, Goldfinch.”

Even if we win, we still lose…but we do it for Orea. For each other.

One king caged my body. Another tried to cage my mind. The first is dead by my hand, and the second is due for a reckoning.

“It doesn’t matter if today, or even a hundred years from now, we manage to win. Unless we end it for good, history will always repeat itself.

I nod, and then I let the terror exhale away. Let my mind go still. Because I am exactly where I need to be. Where I want to be. Willingness. “I’m ready.”

This was what I was always fighting for. This was why I kept going even in the bleakest of times. Even with every stumbling fall. Because this love? This is what it feels like… to fly.
