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

by Sabaa Tahir

“Don’t you see? So long as you fight the darkness, you stand in the light.”

“Go, brother. Return to the human world and finish what you have begun. But know you do not have much time. The Waiting Place will call you back. The magic is your master now, and it does not like its servants to be away for long.”

I’m not the Shrike. I’m Helene, your Helene. Your little girl.

You are all that holds back the darkness.
