A Psalm of Storms and Silence (A Song of Wraiths and Ruin, #2)

by Roseanne A. Brown

“Love shouldn’t look like control.”

Despite it all, still we stand.

“But no cause that can’t withstand justified questioning is truly worth following. If our present can’t be sorted neatly into heroes and villains, then neither can our past. It’s good that you’re doubting the ancestors, and it’s good that you’re wrestling with what you’ve been taught. All that means is whatever path you choose, it’ll be because it’s what you truly believe, not just because someone else wants it for you.”

Nobody escapes this world without some sort of trauma, but that doesn’t mean you get to do whatever you want because of it.”

Malik didn’t need some grand purpose. He didn’t need a magic birthright or a magnificent destiny. All he needed was one thing to keep himself together until tomorrow.

This was about which sin he’d be able to carry and which one would crush him.
