A Torch Against the Night (An Ember in the Ashes, #2)

by Sabaa Tahir

“You are my temple,” I murmur as I kneel beside her. “You are my priest. You are my prayer. You are my release.”

“How’s your wife?” I hadn’t planned to be so direct, but if he’s going to be a dog, then I’ll have to crawl down to his level until I get him on a leash.

You are a torch against the night—if you dare to let yourself burn.”
