Kindle Notes & Highlights
For the child borne of fire and blood shall be our ruin or our redemption. Bringing balance to the new world order, be it through peace or total annihilation.
Since the greatly exaggerated rumors of his death, he has taken a distant interest in the Order and in my quest to restore balance to the world.
“Is he aware of the girl? Of who she is?” I nod. “He has been watching her for many years.”
I take a deep breath and focus on my light once more, allowing it to send a wave of calming energy over me, and with another breath, I send the same wave over the boys too.

And I’m more terrified by the thought of leaving her alone than I am of fucking dying. Is that fucking normal?” I slap the back of his head. “No, it’s not fucking normal, dickface. It’s love. All-consuming, life-altering, soul-shattering love.”
“You will never lose us, sweet girl. I will cling to this life for eternity for you. I will make all the bargains I am able to with Death himself before I leave you alone.”
“So you would all believe he was dead.”
“Sit, Ophelia. Do not squat. Do not hover. I am a vampire. I cannot suffocate—and even if I could, it would be a price worth paying. So sit your sweet fucking cunt all the way down on my face right now.”
And, if you promise not to tell, I will let you in on a few little secrets, faithful reader. It still rains when I’m sad. I can still heal bites from my mates without the need of their saliva. And sometimes, when I really concentrate and flick my wrists in exactly the right way, I can still summon Dragonfyre.
