The Songbird & the Heart of Stone (Crowns of Nyaxia, #3)

by Carissa Broadbent

Asar caught my eye and his mouth flattened. He pushed his hands quickly into the blood, hiding his bare skin.

Awww he's self conscious

If Saescha had been Atroxus’s chosen, she never would have needed to buy back his love at all.

Is that why she was there? Because he groomed her then dumped her?? I kinda hate this god tbh

“You could be helping, Iliae, instead of sitting there gaping at me.”

She's not gaping. She's ogling. Duh.

I dreamed of Asar’s hands, skillful, artful, thorough. I dreamed of how they might feel on my breasts and throat and inner thighs. I dreamed of his breath on my mouth and a kiss that tasted like damnation.

Someone's horny af

He was gentle enough in bed.

That's what every god wants to hear

even though she found herself wondering what all the fuss was about—“That’s

damnnnnnnnnn

then, she realized that he had a small, crumpled-up flower pinched between his fingers.

Wait.... Is this someone we know???

And that meant that his father, Raoul, King of the House of Shadow, was dead.

Oh shit.... That's some drama llama

And drove his dagger into Asar’s side.

Ngl i did not see that coming. Though I really should have.

“I wouldn’t stop until you were so exhausted from pleasure that you begged me for rest.”

If this is actually him then Daddy. If it's not... Creepy.

Bait. We were each other’s bait.

It was himmmmmmmm. Did he know it was really her?

And I saw her hold those tiny vampire babies, so much more fragile than what they would one day become, and snuff them out.

Oooooo that's not good.....

It had been a mistake to tame the dog. A bigger one to love her.

It's Luce. Fuck that's socute

But they would never take another precious thing away from this world ever again.

now Mische is precious to him isn't she?

You have thirty seconds to answer me, Iliae!

Poor Daddy's freaking out and it's so damn cute

“And she will keep following me until the end.”

This is giving Inception but also Ophelia reminds me a bit of Lavinia

“If anyone can melt a stone heart.”

It's her

He took awkwardly long to stand up, spending an inordinate amount of time rearranging the pages of the book on his lap,

pages? That's an interesting name for his dick..

He really does like me, doesn’t he?

Babe he's head over heels for you

“She can mean it and it can still be untrue.”

You’ll have countless inane questions and horrible taste in food and a penchant for making lost souls love you.”

Like himself???

where a line of dark hair led into his trousers.

My my does Daddy have a happy trail?

“A man can’t rush worship.”

Daddy

the tip gleaming with my slick.

We do not like "my slick" ..... Ew.

“You have always been such a foolish, impulsive little creature, a’mara.”

Uh oh. Your God's a little jelly belly isn't he?

But then I hear her.

Oh no....

No, I would never regret Asar. But I knew that one day, he would regret me.

Fuckkkkkkk that's so damn sad.

His hand slipped from mine. Luce, forever loyal, came to his side.

YOU STOP THIS RIGHT NOW YOU BAD BOY.

My hand clenched around the arrow.

This bitch is gonna kill Atroxus....

Sometimes they only see you for the first time when you force them to.

Vincent, dead King of the Nightborn, said to me.

KEBAB BOY????????
