Kindle Notes & Highlights
But these were strange times, and loyalty was the first casualty of change.
Death frees us from our previous selves.
“Something called the First Bind forces vampires to only feed from specific families. There are around eighty bloodlines trapped in this cycle for generations. Guess who’s in one of those families. Yup.”
The Second Bind restricts some of their strength, and the Third Bind requires a heavy sacrifice when they turn a human into one of them. Kidan keeps saying the powerful Last Sage didn’t know how to use his incredible gift—that he should have killed all vampires off instead of putting restrictions on them. I think she’s right. Our lives would have been so different if he had.”
Triangles for anger. Squares for when the fear became too much, and circles for moments of joy.
“You accuse me of an evil act, yet you committed it—undeniably, you must be human.”
“If the source of all hate is this eye, blind me. But if it still lingers, take my second. If it still speaks, cut my tongue. If it still writhes, unhinge my bones. If it still lives, then look at your hands. If it’s in your skin, not mine, in your very soul, then purge yourself. Purge yourself, my friend. And hope you can join us in the clouds.”
IF SUSENYOS SAGAD ENDANGERS ADANE HOUSE, THE HOUSE SHALL IN TURN STEAL SOMETHING OF EQUAL VALUE TO HIM.
“Your hatred burns like ocean ice. And it’s entirely… mine. I’ve never owned something so completely.”
“It’s a shame that when I finally find my potential equal, she cannot love herself enough to remain in this world.”
“The world loves to punish girls who dream in the dark. I plan to worship them.”
