A Shadow Bright and Burning (Kingdom on Fire, #1)

by Jessica Cluess

“Seven are the Ancients, seven are the days, Monday for R’hlem, the Skinless Man, On-Tez on Tuesday, the old Vulture Lady, Callax is Wednesday, the Child Eater, Zem the Great Serpent crisps Thursday with his breath, On Friday fear Korozoth, the Shadow and Fog, Never sail on Saturday says Nemneris the Water Spider, And rain on Sunday brings Molochoron the Pale Destroyer.”

Ladies are so much cleverer than gentlemen. They enjoy good conversation and great fun, two things without which I cannot live.”

“The most exceptional individuals are also the most necessary.”

When I see a lady go up against a group of men who claim to know better than she does, I find I want her to succeed.
