Kindle Notes & Highlights
I don’t want to be a monster. I don’t want Kai to see me as one.
“You’ve dug enough graves for me,” she breathes. “I figured I would repay the favor.”
“Good. Bad.” I shrug a shoulder. “We are all just shadows of what we believe to be true.”
Kitt Azer—the boy she cared so deeply for—did not hate her in the end.
“Because I love you, Paedyn Gray. And I will happily spend the rest of my life trying to deserve you.”
“I love you,” she says, suddenly stern. “And I will spend the rest of my life shouting it until even Astrum hears, because it is Death who should fear me if he ever tries to take you away.”
“We will love for him,” she whispers in my ear. A tear slips down my cheek. “You and me.”
I remember the feeling Adena left me with: Peace. I had said goodbye. Or rather, a good way to say bye until I see my A next.
“At the end of a blade, I would love you. Until it pierced my throat, I would say ‘yes’ to you.”
She is my dream. She is my piece of paradise. She is my inevitable.
My heart stutters. It is broken and healing and missing Kitt beside me. But it is full. She is what my scarred heart beats for.
King and queen. Shadow and Flame. Poet and muse.
“Kit, honey, stay close!” I call after watching her tear down the street, brandishing an ear of corn.
This life is sweet. Like honey.
And I hope you, too, dear reader, have walked away from this series more powerful, reckless, and blazingly fearless than before.
