The Shadows Between Us

by Tricia Levenseller

I have been entrusted with the name of a king. Now I need him to give me his heart.

I honestly can’t say which devil is worse, the one on my right or the one on my left.

A woman’s worth is not decided by what’s between her legs but by what is in her mind.

“Have you ever been in love?” “No,” he says. “Not ever. What’s it like?” “Horrible.”

and I can have it all. The power. The kingdom. The man.

“After all, love is an excellent motivator to kill.”
