Kindle Notes & Highlights
He was no willowy creature of fairytale. He was massive, looming, and oh so very real.
“The end of this kingdom is nigh. You must repent. End your bargains with the fae and their old ways, or else be caught up in it.” It was the same message they’d been speaking for the last twenty-one years. The same message they’d been speaking long before that. It was always the end of the world. It was always just around the bend, waiting, like a bad bedtime story, to snatch you up and carry you away.

All four of them shrunk a little in their boots. “You all have a duty to your kingdoms. You’re the ones who need reminders of who you are.”
