Vow of Thieves (Dance of Thieves, #2)

by Mary E. Pearson

When you are on the lowest rung of society, you are a comforting reminder to those just a bit above you that life could always be worse, that they are not you.

Maybe sometimes life and fantasies and family did all go completely wrong. But I had loved and been loved deeply and completely, not once but twice in my life. I would not trade that for all the riches that Montegue had to offer.

“When opportunity knocks, you don’t go punching it in the face.”

The queen once told me there were a hundred ways to fall in love. Maybe there were a hundred ways to find and give forgiveness too.
