Flamefall (The Aurelian Cycle, #2)

by Rosaria Munda

Dreams are deadliest for the dreamers.

Revenge doesn’t need to begin with a knife. It can begin with a well-delivered speech.

I’ve never in my life felt such a clench of love for a stranger as I feel in this moment for this miracle of a girl.

The only atonement I can offer for my crimes, the only thanks I can give for her mercy. Let me answer her honor with honor, where they think we have none.

Even if we were never to kiss again, even if it were never more than this, it would be enough just to hold you.
