Broken by Daylight (Beasts of the Briar, #4)

by Elizabeth Helen

If I have to tear the mountains from the earth, the clouds from the sky, the water from the sea, I will do it. Nothing will stop me from finding Rosalina.

If I am not worthy of basking in her radiance, then I will walk behind her as a shadow. As her shadow, I will engulf any who would dim her light. If darkness is all I have, then I will use it to serve her.

“You have me, Rosalina,” I breathe. “Wherever I go, you have me. Whatever desert I leave my footprints in, whatever wilderness I inhabit or mountain I scale. It was set by the Fates and bound in the stars. You have me.”

“Whatever it takes, I will return to you, my Queen. If I have to crawl, I’ll crawl. If I have to swim through rivers of fire, I’ll swim. If I have to defy the Fates themselves and rearrange the stars, I will do it.”

Rosalina. I thought of you and found my way out of the shadows and wished I could make my way to your light again.

“Every swing of my sword is for you. Every word I utter, every action I take, every beat of my damned heart.” His fingers tremble on my face. “Rosalina, I love you.”
