Bite of the Hound (Valaria Descending, #3)

by Ella Walker Henderson

“Any kind of trust holds a level of blindness.

And then you and I will talk more tonight, and I will tell you anything you wish to know of our betrothal, whether Grannd’s plans or mine. I would hold nothing back from you now and wish no secrets between us, not if our blood will be spilled to the ground and the sea by the Hundar. I would fight with honor beside you and have no lingering questions.”

Stay and fight with me.”

I love you as a man, not for your place in the world.”

I love you as a woman, not for what could be achieved through us. I love you as a woman and as a warrior, no matter what little time we may have left together.”
