The Wheel of Osheim (The Red Queen's War, #3)

by Mark Lawrence

“Fear can be a useful friend—but it’s never a good master.”

“A life lived well is one you’re not prepared to compromise just in order to draw it out for another day.”

“Fear is a necessary metric without which the modelling of risk and consequence would serve no purpose.”

In the end there are few things more likely to squeeze stupidity and courage from a man in equal measures—if indeed they are not both the same thing. Family will do it, and so will the sight of someone you hate with a passion about to seize their moment of triumph.
