Vow of Thieves (Dance of Thieves, #2)

by Mary E. Pearson

Only now did I understand the unbearable weight of secrets. You can never know their true burden until they’ve been lifted from you.

Sometimes you have to remind yourself that you’re not powerless. That you have some measure of control.

I told her that you would understand. You would listen. That you would love her again. Because that’s what families do.”
