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.”
“Mera,” Shadow said, his voice as serious as I’d ever heard it. “Step away from the mist.” I snorted, crossing my arms. “I’m afraid you’re too late for this lecture. About the same as advising a dude to wear a condom after his chick is already pregnant.”
“It’s dick measuring time,” I said, somewhat amused. My eyes met Shadow’s. “You gonna whip yours out too? You might be the underdog here, but I’d still put some money on you.”
Shadow laughed. “We’re not. My kin are well known to me, and I plan on killing a decent amount of them.” Phew. “Good to know.” A pause. “Also, you’re a touch scary.” Shadow shrugged. “I am what I am. If you can’t handle me, that’s your issue.”
The Concordes is the main mass of land. There are five kingdoms of royals sharing its territory. Trinity is Shadow’s, the strongest of the five. Then there is Holister, second in power, followed by Fraple, Glist’n, and Ashan.
“Everything is a dude in my world, just with minor tone changes. You’re a dude, Angel’s a dude, Simone is a dude. When I stub my toe it’s a fucking hell, dude. All dudes.”
“Shadowshine is exactly how I see us,” he rumbled. “One too dark, the other too light, and nothing but destructive storms between us.”
“Surviving takes its toll, Shadow. I know. You did a really excellent job, but it helps no one if we gloss over the struggles. It always leaves a mark, some deeper than others.”
“In thousands of years, you’re the first being to cross my path and give me a reason to fight for a different future. I never saw you coming, and I never anticipated you would wreak such havoc on both me and my life. There was no one else who was worthy.”
“It was so clever and adaptive. No matter what I did to try to best it, the power would anticipate my next attack. Cristell was good with spell work, but the illusions it created never felt like her work.”
Ixana did it
“You’d burn The Concordes down for me?” I swallowed roughly. “I’d burn the entire world down for you, Sunshine.”
“She died the day I barred Shadow from the realm.”
