Nightshade (Nightshade, #1)

“The sun will turn into darkness, and the moon into blood. And the heavens will shake. But do not be afraid.”

My father, on the other hand, believed it’d not only prophesied my mother’s untimely death, but made me a harbinger, of sorts. A messenger of the angels, whatever that meant.

“Have you learned anything from this, girl?” “Yes, Your Excellency” she said, tipping her chin up. “I learned that I no longer fear the dark.”

“Strong women will always bear the dangerous burden of a weaker man’s pride.”

“My love for you will never fade. Not even when this wretched world ceases to exist and the sun dies out to an everlasting darkness. My life, my soul. It is yours eternally.”
