Kindle Notes & Highlights
“Just shut up and run!” “What—what are you doing?” he panted. “What do you think I’m doing?” I snarled. “I’m saving the fucking fox!”
I was going to kill him. “You maimed them at best,” I snapped. “And the day you save me on a battlefield, I’ll put on a dress and dance a fucking jig.”
Now I wanna see this happen
“I didn’t know you could heal!” I shrugged. “I can’t now. Not anymore, anyway. It wasn’t much, but I gave him what I had.”
My heart🥺🥺
“Don’t you know? There isn’t much I wouldn’t sacrifice to make you happy, Osha. A little healing magic is the least of it.”
“Are you out of your mind?” he asked. “I don’t know a single person stupid enough to hit on a newly bonded female, let alone a God-Bound female. But to do it right in front of her mate? In front of him?”
Yes. Carrion is indeed out of his mind. I dont even need to be told thats hes the one that said shes down right fuckable
“Your father was felled by his own hubris. He was too arrogant. He believed himself invincible, and I had the pleasure of showing him otherwise. A god sword will make worm food out of any of us, no matter who wields it. But, regardless,” I called in a clear voice. “I am no child. My name is Saeris Fane, and I am your queen.”
DAMN RIGHT
You can own your fantasies with me, Little Osha. There is nothing in this realm or the next that I won’t give to you if you desire it. All you ever need do is ask.
“For the love of the gods, fucking drink,” he begged. In those long, heady moments, I hadn’t realized that I wasn’t taking anything from him. That I was giving something to him instead.
????
If I touched him— “Don’t even think about it, or I’ll take you right here,” he panted. Holy. Fucking. Gods.
God-Bound unions often ended in death. But Saeris had already died once, and I’d done way more than my fair share of dying back in the maze. As far as I was concerned, Death had taken his due from us.
This better be the loophole
“And if any part of your body, literally any part of it, comes into contact with hers, then I will remove it.” Carrion thought about this. “What about if she’s hanging off a cliff by one hand and can’t hold on much longer? Can I touch her then?”
Fucking Carrion
“No. No, I don’t.” I answered quickly. Definitively. And it was the answer Fisher was looking for, which was why the look of relief on his face made sense… but not the flicker of disappointment that came after it.
Theory: Fisher said no for her and is relieved he got it right. But disappointed because he does want to get married. He doesnt "need" to, but I think he wants it
“You know I would marry you,” he rushed out. “You must know that I want to.”
Knew It
“Well, she died before I turned fourteen. And my father was already gone. So…”
What if hes still alive? Mirelle told Fisher to guard his true name. His life, or something like that, depended on it. It was her last words to him. He's gotta eventually learn his true name....
Her notebooks were full of drawings. Of me, mostly. And of little birds with flashing blue wings.
What if thats a clue to his true name?
“I love you, and nothing else matters beyond that. Wherever you are, I’ll beg the gods and all the fates to let me be there, too,” I whispered.
“Come now, Osha. Where else would an acolyte kneel to worship but at the altar of his god?”
“I told you once that I was disappointed by how breakable humans were. Remember?” Oh, I remembered. “You’re not human anymore, Saeris. Think you can keep up with me now?”
Damn😳🥵
“Why do you look so pleased with yourself?” I teased. And Kingfisher laughed. “Because I am pleased with myself. Because I’m the luckiest bastard alive. And because you look like you’ve just been thoroughly fucked.”
“Thank you. Make sure he knows how much I loved him, Saeris,” she said. “At the end, make sure he knows that I’d do it all again.”
Totally not crying😭
Against all good judgment that I knew he possessed, Lorreth laughed. “When it grows back all tiny like, at least it’ll be in better proportion when you wrap it around your cock.”
Im really starting to like Lorreth😂
“I don’t know! It was weird, not being able to see anything. Closing them helped.” He was the strangest male. “Okay. Sure. That makes perfect sense,” I said.
Hes like a toddler
Lorreth was with Carrion in the training hall, attempting to whip him into shape,
Carrion is in Zilveran???
But cats did not make good pets, as far as I was concerned. They couldn’t be trusted. At least a dog was loyal enough to die in solidarity if its owner dropped down dead in their own home.
Facts
Whoever had painted the night sky on the roof of Ammontraíeth’s library was a master of their craft.
What if this id where the book is hidden? Or Winter Palace library
“Because, no matter what.…” Lorreth said under his breath. “A wolf never becomes a leech,” the vampire finished.
“Then tell me, Joshin. You filled me with enough venom to take down three horses… but do you scent any fear on me? Do you think I am afraid to face my demons? I’ve faced them before. I know them all by name. I’ve conquered them and bent them to my will more times than the sun has risen over Yvelia in my lifetime. I’ll face your nightmares if I have to, and I will still be the most frightening thing prowling around in the dark.”
Pretty hot
No, I couldn’t blame the male for seeing what was obvious. I could only pity him that she wasn’t his and be fucking thankful that she was mine.
“Every year that I live, it seems the magnitude of my loss eclipses the last. So yes. I love Saeris Fane, because she’s electric, and fierce, and loyal, and being around her brings the world back into focus. But I’m not in love with her, Fisher. I tried. But my heart was just too full of sorrow to make room for her.”
My heart kinda hurts for Carrion
“I don’t know what this is right now,” he said, gesturing to the cottage around us, “but it feels like a gift. We’re alone. It feels safe. It’s snowing out there. We have the fire, and food is cooking, and the fox is chasing insects. This is all I need, Saeris. Something simple. And you. I’m claiming you, Osha. Come on. You’re coming with me.”
“I had no idea what you would mean to me. I had no idea what I would do to keep you safe. When I close my eyes, you are all I fucking see, Saeris Fane. I could be dead in the ground five thousand years and the frosts could have taken my bones, and still no other male will ever have loved another female the way that I love you.”
He could handle all the bullshit and the complications that came with loving me. He knew me. Saw me. Was capable of holding the both of us together if it all became too much. It was safe to love him back because, no matter what, he was never going to let me fall.
“Sweet fucking mercy,” he panted. “Kill me. Sit on my face and ride my tongue until I fucking die. I can’t take it anymore.”
“I have no idea if any of this is real. But if it is, we don’t have any idea where we are, Osha. I don’t understand any of this, but I’m gonna damn well make sure my head’s on straight if I need to react quickly. I’m not about to let anything happen to you here.”
I want Fisher
I spent a full second feeling sorry for Carrion, knowing how uncomfortable he must be, but then I remembered how annoying he was, and my pity went away.
XD
“I’d spend the fortunes of the universe to protect you. I’d drain the seas dry. Fell every tree. I would sacrifice the sun from the fucking sky and surrender the stars, too, if I could. But those things aren’t mine to give. All I have is my life. It isn’t much, but I’d spend it and consider the price small if it meant keeping you safe.”
Carrion squinted at Fisher, hand in the air. “Is it weird, knowing that people’s balls retract up into their bodies whenever you’re around?” He made a cupping motion of something being sucked upward.
I was about to say no, of course we don’t, but I wasn’t able to. “We do, actually. But it’s a festival, not a ball,” I admitted.
Is she starting to lose her ability to lie? Or is it because of Tal?
“And what if there comes a day when all of this becomes too much, and I want to be carried? At least for a little while?” “Then it would be my honor and a privilege to do so, Saeris. Never doubt that. Whenever you need me to catch you, I am here, ready and willing. I’ll face the Blood Court for you, if you want me to. I’ll face Belikon, and Madra, and anyone or anything that wishes to do you harm.”
Another rune on fire. This time, the rune for brimstone.
Will she be able to create brimstone somehow and prevent the rot from spreading??
She was mine. And sometimes, the urge to throw her over a table and fuck her raw in front of everyone so that they would know that was too much to fucking bear.
You certainly know how to light a match, he said, amused. Are you having fun yet? No! This is not fun, Fisher. This is fucking stressful!
I love how calm and collected she is on the outside, but is really freaking tf out on the inside
“Well, I figured if he’s prepared to follow you,” he said, nodding in Fisher’s direction, “then I’d be a fucking idiot not to, wouldn’t I?”
Smart man
I’m here now, and just because I am your mate and you are mine doesn’t mean that I expect you to sit around looking pretty, or… or put down your weapons and adopt a different way of life. I would never want that for you. But you don’t have to be one thing here, Saeris. You can be many things. You can wear your leathers and fight every day of the year. I would never ask you not to. But sometimes, if you wanted to… you’re allowed to soften, Saeris. You’re allowed to stop baring your teeth at the world and take a breath. Because I’ve got you.”
“It seems very simple to me. Wouldn’t you want to come and spend the afterlife with me if I died?” “Of course I would!” “Then let my love be equal to yours.”
“You’ve forgotten how to lead,” Danya accused. “If you find yourself unequal to the task, then step aside. Sometimes sacrifices need to be made.”
You know what? FUCK YOU DANYA
“I shouldn’t tell you this, since you seem blissfully unaware of the power you hold over me, but… I will give you whatever you want, Saeris Fane. Always. No matter what it costs me.”
Nothing was allowed to be beautiful in the world without him.
“Kingfisher of the Ajun Gate, I hereby call you by your true name. I declare all oaths you have sworn null and void. Rise, Khydan Graystar Finvarra, in honor of the name you were given at birth! Rise up and fight!”
“He isn’t just a fox. He’s family. And if Saeris says she’s going to save him, then she’s going to.” “Such blind faith?” “In her? Yes,” Fisher answered.
