Servant of Earth (The Shards of Magic, #1)

by Sarah Hawley

It would be a reminder that not everything had to be difficult, and that sometimes the solutions to my problems were right under my nose.

All I could do was face who I was and refuse to look away.

That was what love was. Not just romantic love, but any type of love. It was caring so much for another person that you would do anything to see them happy and whole.

The future stretched before us, as uncertain as it was terrifying. But hope was what we made it. I wasn’t going to wait for someone else to create that future for me. I was going to seize it with my own two hands, then carve it into a shape I wanted.
