Song of Sorrows and Fate (The Broken Kingdoms, #9)

by L.J. Andrews

Kase and Malin were, oddly, the most joyful. They laughed against each other. Laughed and held tightly to a new dawn. A new existence.

Lmao just two violent kids in love

Aleksi greeted Tor and Sol like he thought a warrior might, stalwart and steady—at first—but in three breaths the boy crumbled and cried until Tor scooped his skinny body and carried him into the palace.

Im not over it

“They abandoned their king. They abandoned boys to their enemies.”

Wtf

Livia leaned around her father, watching the boy. More curious than the princess’s stare was when Bloodsinger glanced over his shoulder. Whether he sensed the eyes of another on him, or something else, he quickly found the Night Folk princess. Livia peeled her gaze back to the table, cheeks flushed in embarrassment. Erik narrowed his eyes, almost confused, before he was dragged out of sight.

GOODBYE I AM GONE

Valen crouched, holding the Ever King’s stare. “I took vows with a direct descendant of my enemy’s line. My queen was the best choice I have ever made in all my many turns.”

The irony omfg

Erik snorted. “There are no queens of the Ever. You’ve nothing to offer me.

Oh buddy boy

“Is that—” Elise squinted. “Bleeding gods, what is Livia doing? We need to get her.”

I AM DYING LAUGHING all this time they KNEW she went tohim and THEY THOUGHT THEY WERE SLICK

Elise pressed a hand to her heart, smiling. “That girl is too bleeding good for this cruel world. She’s befriending him, Valen.”

“You mean, am I going to tell him that a bleeding heart song is growing between his beloved daughter and a boy from an enemy kingdom? No. I think I will let that path open however it is meant to open. I’m quite done meddling in fate.”

SFKSKAFKVKANXMA

I chuckled, embracing the heat of a song burning between the two of us the longer the two littles were close to each other.

This is so soft omg

Malin smiled when we appeared in the doorway, her gown was like liquid silver. I smiled back. This was the moment—I could recall it now—but I knew this was the moment I’d shown the dying memory queen all those turns ago. A true queen of fate seated beside her king amidst the united thrones.

I was their storyteller. I’d been the one to guide them once, but somewhere along the way we’d switched places. They guided me, taught me, loved me. The fools had already dragged me into their family before discovering the truth, but even more now, they treated me as their own. Like their blood family.

I looked to my sides, taking in the faces of my royals. I refused to cry, but the sting was there. My folk. My family. They’d fought for me. They’d saved me. Much more than I’d ever saved them.

SPEAK FOR YOURSELF IM SOBBING

Until everything he loves is in the hands of the Ever Kingdom.”

Oh boy

It would take a fierce act of fate to break the guards against the Ever Kingdom.

A h a

I kissed his lips softly. “Tell me now is when we finally get to share each day, tell me now is when we share one lifetime together.”

THE REFERENCE

Siv and her boy were always close. She named him Mattis and often told him, even as a tiny babe, of his father who’d died to protect our world.

PAIN

Since the day I fell in love with Legion Grey in that old schoolhouse, my heart had never ceased beating for this man. All the battles, the fears, the scars, the damn curses we’d survived—it was worth every step to end in Valen Ferus’s arms.

Stop this feels like an ending

Valen kissed me sweetly, resting his head against mine. “I love you, Elise Ferus. You’ve given me . . . everything. My freedom, my home, my life. But your heart, this family you’ve given me, it is the greatest gift I could ever want.”

“I hate this tunic.” Jonas flopped back on a fur coated chaise, tugging at the high collar of the blue tunic. Sander scratched his neck beside his brother but didn’t complain. Merely added a kick to Jonas’s shin. “It’s your good tunic, and you’ll wear it without complaining,” I said, adjusting the black circlet in my braids. “Damn the hells, I hate this tunic.” Kase shoved in from the washroom, tugging at his own collar.

DEAD LOL

Kase kissed me, hard and thoroughly, until both boys made retching sounds. He grinned against my lips.

The way i love him is unhealthy

“You were worth it all, Nightrender,” I whispered. “Every bad memory, every beautiful one, you were worth it for this life we now live.”

Lj dont ever make me leave this world PLS
