Nine Tailed (Realm of Four Kingdoms, #1)

by Jayci Lee

I take a calm the fuck down breath.

Searing heat spreads in my chest. All I feel is hate. Because love hurts too much. All I want is destruction. Because I can’t bring my mother back. Love is sorrow. Sorrow is rage. I close my eyes, and everything goes white.

“What kind of sick mind would dream up something like that?”

Darkness takes its final breath, double dragons reunite. Fierce shall jade and silver burn the truth of tears and blood unchained. Blinding sorrows extinguish dreams, hope shines forth, the unveiled pearl. The true heart of the righteous shall shatter the light that reveals all paths.

And what is love? Love is hope. What is hope? Hope is life. What is life? Life is light. My head tilts back as warmth fills my chest and light glows beneath my coat. Liquid heat gathers in my heart, and peace descends on me.
