Shield of Sparrows (Shield of Sparrows, #1)

by Devney Perry

“Praise is for the bedroom, Cross. Not the training ring.”

“Only fools and liars burn books and people’s homes.”

“What if I was yours?”

I can't breathe

“Why me?” “I told you. You are mine.”

“When I am nothing but dust and ash, Turah will endure. I do not need a crown. And I have made peace with my destiny. But before I step into my grave, my choice is you.”

“I love you.” “Yes, you do. Don’t forget.” “Never.” “Neither will I.”
