A Reaper at the Gates (An Ember in the Ashes, #3)

by Sabaa Tahir

“Skies save me from the men in my life and all the things they think they know.

Strange how monsters can reach from beyond the grave, as potent in death as they were in life.

“Hope is stronger than fear. It is stronger than hate.”

There is a price for greed and violence. We do not always know who will pay it. But for good or ill, it will be paid.

Curse this world for what it does to the mothers, for what it does to the daughters. Curse it for making us strong through loss and pain, our hearts torn from our chests again and again. Curse it for forcing us to endure.
