Year One (Kingmakers, #1)

by Sophie Lark

“Power is not only in what we do, but in what we don’t do,” Anna quotes, calmly.

I don’t want to think about anything in my real life. That’s what books are for. To take you away . . .

“He leads with his heart,” I say.

I’m not like that. Sometimes I’m sad for no good reason. Sometimes I want to sit in silence, thinking about the passage of time, and how painful it is to remember the best and worst moments that have come and gone so swiftly.

But sometimes I think she doesn’t need me the same way I need her.

Fantasies are so much more than dreams—they’re a vision of the path you need to take to get what you want.
