Oathbound (Legendborn, #3)

by Tracy Deonn

“I must become untouchable.” The King’s eyes glisten like rubies. “Because…?” “Because my enemies are everywhere.” I feel my lips pull back, as if I am a demon catching a scent on the wind. As if I am a monster, snarling at the world. “And if they are everywhere, then I will become something they cannot reach.”

“If my opponents are relentless,” I say, “then I will become unstoppable.”

What’s the point of becoming untouchable and unstoppable and impervious if I can’t use my own power to save others?

Love. Trust. Both a practice, I decide.
