Kindle Notes & Highlights
If there was one true thing to fear in this world, it wasn’t memories that lived in the past, not really able to touch me, it was this man when his soul was split open. When his inner demons were awakened.
I called on the Void, begged it, then commanded it to come to me. And this time, it answered.
“I am Everest Arcadia,” I panted, the exertion it took to move exhausting me. “I am vengeance.”
I stopped it dead as I came eye to eye with the most beautiful woman I had ever met.
YAAAAAAAAAAAA
their people are all self-serving, annoyingly tall, disgustingly muscular assholes with weirdly strong jawlines and the personality of a tree and the stubbornness of a stupid old ball of moss clinging to a rooftop in a storm.” “That’s…very specific
LOLLLLL
“I hope that day never comes, kitty cat. I think I’d rather regret robbing the world of you.”
He groaned in pleasure and started crawling towards me. “Call me a bitch,” he pleaded. “You’re not a bitch,” I sneered. “You’re a pitiful, worthless cunt. You can’t even open this door. You’re not even worth killing because your life is so utterly pathetic.”
Mommy
“Must have been someone else’s lust I felt tainting the air when he came charging in here flexing his muscles and barking orders then.”
Eheh
Even my sisters had known that I was too savage a creature to ever require softness from them, but this Raincarver, an enemy of mine in every respect, whose land I’d sacked and pillaged, whose people I’d butchered and terrorised, was offering me refuge in the storm of my grief.
“Then…” I turned my head to look at Everest and she turned to look at me too, just a pair of mortal enemies sharing a bed small enough for two lovers to embrace upon and little more.
Kaelas going to go crazy over this
I released him, recomposing myself. But when it came to her, I never had much sense.
Ok harlon
“But she is the closest thing I have ever had to family. I love her. There is nothing I wouldn’t do to protect her.”
“You must go to her, Harlon. You are the only one she will trust. You must find a way to free her from the Flamebringers and bring her here to me where she will be guarded from harm. I will not let her be wielded by any of the four lands.”
NOOO BAD BAD
I was a fool. A damn fool and a fucking idiot too for that matter but here I was all the same, creeping through the back streets of Cinder Vale, looking to rescue a woman who couldn’t have been further from a damsel in distress if she tried.
CATCH ME GIGGLING LIKE A FOOL
There were at least ten prisons between Leergaith and this fucking city which would have housed her sufficiently but no, she had to be too important for such treatment, didn’t she? She had to be the fucking Sky Witch, a prize the Blazers wanted to covet and croon over instead of a normal warrior who I could have broken free two weeks ago.
She was the only Fae in the entire Waning Lands who I could actually claim to know anymore. And I didn’t even know her name.
:(((
Even with that knowledge I missed her. I had been too long without conversation already and I could admit to myself that I missed the sight of her face too. It wasn’t the beauty she claimed, though clearly I’d taken note of that, but it was more the deception in her. She was a walking contradiction, breathtaking to look upon while writhing with darkness within. She claimed so wholly to be nothing more than the vengeance she sought but I had learned to see the cracks in that visage. Yes, she harboured pain and grief within her heart but there were glimpses of more than that too. She was a

GOODBYE THIS GAVE ME GOOSEBUMPS
This new palace was a work of art, spires and towers built from obsidian black glass
Am i having TOG ptsd or does this mean something
Perhaps you’ve seen her? She’s the most beautiful-”
SHES THE MOST BEAUTIFUL IM SOBBING
She’d had a way of creating distance between us and the crowds we moved within. Or maybe she’d just drawn my focus to the point where all others became little more than noise.
“And I need to tell you something I should have told you sooner. It’s about your emotions and why you cannot-”
heLLO?
“You must fetch the Void. Prepare to wield her.”
Shit fuck
“One more move and I shall behead you. Your face will likely be less beguiling to my kin then,” I warned. “I’d still want you, my love! Oh headless wonder of mine!
Kaiser could wield the wind if he desired it enough.
WHAT
“I’ve spent the last few weeks hunting you down and I finally got your location by following The Matriarch’s emotionless lump of a son down here, spectre, but you don’t even look thrilled to see me,”
Hes literally a huge puppy
I purred, reaching for his desires, intending to tug on some sense of urgency to get us out of here but instead finding his focus on my mouth.
Op
He surged forward, tugging me towards him, and I gasped as his lips crashed against mine, a flood of want exploding through me and my eyes falling closed before I realised that I couldn’t feel a thing. There wasn’t the slightest pressure of his mouth against mine nor the urgent heat of his tongue pushing between my lips. I blinked my eyes open, finding him grinning broadly, still a good foot away from me and not attempting to kiss me in any way. “I thought you said I couldn’t fool you with that trick anymore?”
IVE BEEN FOOLED
“Remove these cuffs and use my magic,” I said, his eyes snapping to mine at the suggestion. “You trust me enough to power share with me?”
I lOVE ME A POWERSHARE MOMENT
The joining of our magic was like a fuse finally meeting with dynamite, the following explosion ripping through the two of us in a wave of potent pleasure before diving into Bastian’s body and tearing free of him again with a blast that had my breaths coming raggedly.
The cage crumpled under the influence of his power and as the cage fell away, he stepped closer, the few inches those bars had kept between us dissolving. And then his mouth really was on mine.
IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS
His fingers pushed into my hair, pulling me closer and my body fit against him like it had been moulded to do nothing other than that.
Interesting description HUHH
It wasn’t a kiss between enemies. It wasn’t blind lust or selfish want. It was fire in the dead of winter, a shock of lightning to my bruised and silenced heart, it was thunder breaking over a desert and it was the awakening of a creature I’d almost forgotten I could be. Kissing Bastian Carderrin was treason of the highest form. Yet even with the shadow of my homeland looming over us, it was a sin I couldn’t stop myself from committing, no matter the consequences for my infidelity, or the price I’d no doubt pay for it in the end.
Ok speak on it
“Our people butchered his family in an attempt to assassinate him. They managed to destroy most of his bloodline aside from the most important one. Him. Since then, Earl Tarlord only launches his troops against Pyros
“He butchered the entire legion who were responsible for his family’s demise and decorated his throne room with their bones.
Do you really think a prophecy would have been written about a power so meagre? You are unstoppable, silka la vin. And you will prove it this very hour.”
“What are we to one another, spectre?” Bastian asked me but I had no answer that I could give him to his question.
The girl arched a brow at me and the youngest boy tiptoed up to whisper in her ear. “He says you’re not as mean as you pretend to be. He says you should listen to your heart more often.”
“Dead,” I snarled because whoever the Fae who had sired me were, I would never find out their names anyway, so it had always seemed most honest to claim they were dead. They might as well have been so far as I was concerned.
OK THIS IS TEA
I turned my possession onto the Sky Witch, meeting with the force of her mental shields and trying to break through them. But there was no affecting her, her Order not allowing my power in as mine didn’t allow hers to affect me in kind. She smiled at me like she knew what I’d been attempting and found humour in it.
This is sus
Vesper’s sword work was immaculate and I couldn’t get the upper hand.
Hell yeah
How easily we had just worked together again. There was something so effortless about her company, despite everything I knew about her and who she was.
I nodded, taking her hand and our fingers locked together. She felt it too, this bond we had. This strange kindred spirit we shared that should never have been.
“I think we would have been something in another life,” I said earnestly, feeling like the stars were glinting a little brighter as they watched on too. “Friends maybe,” Vesper scoffed, but there was a hint of a smile on her lips. “Fuck it.” I tugged her close, hugging her, and after several seconds of her going stiff in my arms, she returned my embrace.
ALEXA PLAY FOR GOOD
“What’s it to be?” he asked me, not even bothering to glance at the surrounding battlefield, as if the screams of dying Fae were utterly insignificant to him in comparison to my next words.
I love him so much oh my god
“Have you always been in the habit of spouting bullshit until you believe it yourself?” Bastian growled. “Look at me. Look what I’ve endured and what I’ve lost and yet I emerged from that cavern because of you. A warrior from another land, born to be my enemy.”
HE CALLS HER OUT ONIT
Bastian scoffed. “Enemies don’t kiss the way we did, spectre. Enemies don’t go to the lengths we have to keep one another alive.”
His amber eyes blazed with desperation. “I will take you whether you agree or not!”
Oh shit
“She told you to let go of her, Reaper,” Kaiser’s dark voice fell over me like a black cloud
AHHHHHHH
His shirt was half torn off of him, his red armour on show beneath and his horns curled up from his head as he let the full force of his Order form free.
SwoON
