Kindle Notes & Highlights
“I never asked for any of this.” He narrows his eyes. “We’ve been over that already. None of us asks for the burdens we bear, but that doesn’t make the way we handle them any less significant.”
“Next time you straddle me,” he murmurs, “wake up first. I want all of you, not just some dark and twisted secret corner of your mind.”

I’m scared because all I’ve ever wanted was to be able to help those who were powerless to help themselves, and now . . .” I squeeze my eyes shut. “I don’t want to fail.” “I’ll be right by your side,” he says, his lips brushing my ear with each word. “And doing so will be the greatest honor of my life.”
“And in the meantime, we’ll fight his mother’s powerful kingdom with our broken one.” “We will lose that battle,” Kane says. Finn nods. “But we’ll go down with honor.”

She takes a long, slow breath and looks me over. “I was just a mother who would’ve given anything to save her son. It is our love, my child, that makes us fit to rule, but it also makes us wicked. It was my love that drove me to curse a kingdom and yours that led you to deceive your lover by stealing from the Seelie Court. Don’t lose sight of that darkness in you. Let it serve the light.”
