Heir to the Shadows (The Black Jewels Trilogy #2)

by Anne Bishop

“Anger has no place in a sickroom.

Fight with a Queen when there’s no other choice.

“Forgiveness doesn’t work that way. You may want to forgive me, but you can’t do it yet. Forgiving someone can take weeks, months, years. Sometimes it takes a lifetime. Until Daemon is whole again, all we can do is try to be kind to one another, and understanding, and take each day as it comes.

Marry someone you can love and accept as she is, Lucivar. Marry someone who will love and accept you.
