Of Blades and Wings (Flame Cursed Fae, #1)

by Eliza Raine

My life will exist only inside these walls, alone until the sickness in my brain finally wins.

They just… gave up trying to save me once they realized that the very thing killing me is possibly the most valuable asset the Ice Court has.

For all the talk of valor and honor in our world, the truth is: secrets always win. Those who hold knowledge over others can do as they please.

"Kain the Ruinous," is next, and my brows draw together in interest. "Fire-fae."

Freydis takes the leather strap, and something changes in all the Valkyrie's expressions. Well, all of them except the fire-fae, who is still inexplicably staring at me.

"I'm Aldrich," he says. "Inga," says the fire-fae. "Navi," says the gold-fae. "Orgid," says the shadow-fae,

"She saved your life on the boat. Sit the fuck down and eat your fucking food."

"You're pale." "I'm an ice-fae. I'm supposed to be pale."

Just like my parents. They gave up, too.

"Oh, there's magic in me, princess. I burn everything I touch."

"Do you have any idea what it is like not to be able to touch a living thing for centuries?"

"She said leave her the fuck alone. You want to fight a fae with no magic? Fight me."

I need to know why he's so interested in me.

Me too me too

Because when I tried to look up information on Kain in the gallery, I was taken to the wolf statue. The one that has been inside my brain since I was a small child.

Omw are they fated mates - i hope its not that predictable

"Haven't you heard, princess?" A wicked gleam lights his eyes, and a smile that is pure sin curves his lips. "I'm the villain of Featherblade."

Beyond these walls lies the sacred Vault of the Valkyrie, Filled with treasures, it will reward your entrance lavishly, But to pass this first door you must prove that your knowledge is sound, List every Guardian and the beast to which they were bound. Make one mistake and it will be your last, The door will ensure you exist only in the past.
