Goldsin (The Chrysophilist Trilogy Book 1)

by Aveline Knight

There is nothing sexier than feminine rage.

Fish are born in water, so they don’t fear swimming. Birds are born in trees, so they don’t fear flying. Bats are born in darkness, so they don’t fear the night. So I’m not surprised that a girl born from death doesn’t fear it either. That a girl born from selfishness doesn’t fear altruism, and that a girl born nameless doesn’t fear being alone. But it doesn’t mean I get to accept it. A boy born of abuse doesn’t fear fighting for affection.

I’d forgive you in a heartbeat, is what I want to tell her. If I had the strength to, I would.
