Kindle Notes & Highlights
You went to the top of my never to be underestimated list, and I promise, that’s a small list.”
“My inbuilt security system no longer considers you… Well, let’s just say that there might be six now who are free to touch me without consequences.”
“Shadowshine,” I murmured. He grimaced, which almost got a smile out of me. His exasperation with our couple nickname was just like the good old days.
“How the fuck is she even doing this? I’ve not heard of any able to control creatures like this, except maybe a Danamain, the true Mist Born. Which is a damn myth.”

Sleep claimed me in seconds, but just before I was unconscious, I could have sworn I felt lips press to mine. “Our souls match, Sunshine.”
“You’d burn The Concordes down for me?” I swallowed roughly. “I’d burn the entire world down for you, Sunshine.”
