A Tribute of Fire (The Eye of the Goddess, #1)

by Sariah Wilson

“It’s easier for women to believe in magic because we have the ability to make life and carry it inside us. We’re already magic. And it is a magic no man will ever understand.”

You and your sister are the tribute of earth and water. They want your total surrender, to give up everything and everyone you hold dear. Do not give it to them! Instead, shove a tribute of fire and steel down their throats!”

“Sometimes you’ll have a healthy plant where a stem or leaves have died. The plant’s instinct is to divert all of its energy to restoring the lost parts, which inhibits its growth. And so, as the gardener, you have to cut those pieces away so that there can be new leaves, new flowers, new life. Sometimes you have to brush away the parts of your life that no longer serve you so that you can move forward.”
