War Storm (Red Queen #4)

by Victoria Aveyard

I love you is a promise we both made, and we both broke. It should mean I choose you above all else. I want you more. I need you always. I cannot live without you. I will do anything to keep our lives from parting. But he wouldn’t. And I won’t. I am less than his crown, and he is less than my cause.

“You’re right.” Something inside me lets go, allowing the strange dream of Cal’s offer to spiral into darkness. Never to return. I will not be a Red queen.

To rise. And rise alone.

So I sit, and I listen, and I watch. And through it all, I feel his eyes.
