The Midwinter Mail-Order Bride (The Dead Lands, #1; Mail-Order Brides, #4)

by Kati Wilde

Love is magic, too.

What is magic but an unseen force that works change upon the world? That is what kindness does.

“Kindness, courage, love—they are the most powerful of all magic.”

“Pure magics don’t steal. They create, and add into the world something that wasn’t there before—and the result is not the opposite. Kindness does not beget cruelty. Instead it begets hope and comfort.”

“It must take a lot of courage to love. But kindness doesn’t need courage. So it should be easiest. Yet I do not see it as often as one would think…and am probably not kind as often as I should be.”

“Kindness is easy. Courage is not.”

“I have seen monsters. You are not one.”

“Love and kindness are the most powerful of all magics—and not only for the one who gives, but also for whom the magic is bestowed upon. So love is nothing to dread or fear.”
