Lady of The Lake (Fey Academy for Spies, #3)

by C.N. Crawford

“By mist and stone, by lake and hollow, I’ll walk with thee through light and shadow. I pledge to thee my sword and soul, two lives now joined, two halves made whole. Two hearts entwined, two fates aligned, with these words, to thee I bind.”

“It’s like I was living in a world of shadows and mist, and then you showed up in my castle—wild, furious, insulting me. And you looked like dawn.” His voice drops. “Rose and honey. You felt like something I lost a long time ago. And ever since, I haven’t been able to clear my mind. Without you, now, I think it would feel like the air stopped moving through the trees. It would feel like the sun would never rise, the rivers would stop flowing, and everything would turn to dust.”

“I will never stop thinking about you.” His voice is ragged. “Even when the stars burn out, you’ll still be in my head because you were the only thing that ever made me feel like I wasn’t completely alone.”

“I will never let you go again,” he rasps. “You’re the first light. You’re the start of everything.”
