Dire Bound (The Wolves of Ruin, #1)

by Sable Sorensen

Monster. This guy’s a fucking psycho killing machine.

This is totally gonna be her guy right

“Nocturn is trapped,” she hisses, and the venom in her voice makes my skin prickle. “He’s trapped, and when he escapes, he’s going to tear the world apart.” Mother lunges at Lee, yanking on his tunic. He’s seen her delusional before but never aimed at him. A violent shadow passes over her face. Everything was perfect, so of course it couldn’t last. These moments shouldn’t surprise me anymore, but still—I’d let myself hope. Heat burns behind my eyes. “Mother,” I say, trying to draw her attention back to me, to calm her down. Goddess, what must Lee be thinking? It only sets her off more. “And you,” she says, turning on me, wild-eyed. “You are not where you are meant to be.”

Girl pls she’s def not crazy and just having visions or smth

When we reach the actual summit, I’m so exhausted that I briefly consider lying down and letting the direwolves eat me as a snack. At least it would be fast.

This made me chuckle

Why wait for the king’s natural death when there’s someone more fit to rule the throne? “There is,” Anassa agrees, hearing my thoughts.

I feel like Anassa doesn't mean Killian though

To my utter astonishment, Anassa turns to face my mother… and bows.

Mhm you see I knew some fishy stuff was going on here
