Kindle Notes & Highlights
I don’t know exactly which part of that night was too much for him to remember. Don’t know and never asked. And no one’s seen Vaughn since.
“We believe that traitor is Selwyn Kane.”
No
If everyone is playing shadow games, then who can anyone trust?
A face I’d recognize anywhere. The face I have imagined every day since he’s been gone.
“Nick?” I ask. And he replies, “Bree.”
I llove nick
“Wha—” I’m stopped by the sight of a syringe sticking out of my upper arm and Emissary Theresa holding the plunger down.
The Regents captured me. Drugged me. They have interrogated me over and over for three days. Three. Does anyone else even know we’re here?
Memories of the other days, slipping back in place in dribs and drabs. The mesmers, breaking down. I give silent thanks to William.
“We’ve been watching you, yes,” Aldrich says. “Since the moment Victoria Morgan informed our emissary that you pulled Excalibur from its stone.” I knew Tor called the Regents on her own, without alerting anyone in advance.
What episode does tor die
“Since when has a man’s title prevented his brutality instead of further emboldening it?”
“I’m not surprised,” Alice says, eyes narrowed. “I hate that bitch.” My jaw drops. Alice throws her hands up. “What? She was mad about you from the beginning. From the literal actual beginning, Bree.”
Me too
“They aren’t sending out a search party to rescue Nicholas. They’re sending assassins to kill him.”
“Summon me, so that I may show you how to control my power. If you do this, I will bring you to memories of Lancelot so that you may visit his heir.”
“You didn’t say she had aether!” she says, voice harsh and low. Jonas is at her side, panting down at me. “She’s not supposed to! What does it matter?” Jonas. Jonas is helping her.
To call our root with intention, think of the power you possess and the woman who gave it to you.” My mind flies to my mother at her writing desk. My mother in the kitchen. Her wide smile. “But heed the rest of the memory, Bree: if you call too much, open the furnace too wide, the Hunter will find you.”
HELL NO
Where Sel’s skin is usually even and pale, this Sel’s skin is flushed with bright red slashes across each cheekbone. His lips are a deeper color than I’ve ever seen.
Demon time?
Thinking that Sel wanted to be close to me, wanted to touch me. The parts of me that screamed that I wanted him to touch me, too… but no. None of that was real.
Oh.
“Who the hell is ‘he’?” Valec throws his hands up.
Why do i love this guy
“When I saw your bravery. Your fury. Your heart. When I started to see…” He swallows, brows knitting together. “When I started to see what I believe Nicholas sees when he looks at you. Only a monster could look at you and want to destroy you, Bree.”
Instead, I turn on my heel—and walk away.
The slow burn yearning i canttttt
meaning is clear. He’s leaving. Without us. He’s leaving… us. Two more steps, and then he’s gone through the woods on the other side of the cabin, armor blinking out as he moves, until he’s lost between the trees.
What why
My chest clenches, burning where the glowing mark had spread across my skin. Valec’s eyes soften. “I’m sorry, powerhouse, but you’ve been bloodmarked.”
“There’s a demon out there who is waiting on me to fulfill a bargain?” He nods. “Yep. And nothing and no one—in either dimension—can stop them from coming to collect.”
The swirling pillar of my root and fury gets hotter, brighter, and blasts upward in a powerful rush—burning a round hole through the protective golden dome of Volition.
Stubborn Final boss
The person falls motionless to the ground. Oh God. Oh no. Alice’s black hair. Her glasses, shattered. Her limbs, too limp. She doesn’t get up. “ALICE!” It wasn’t a Merlin who grabbed us; it was Alice.
Ok y did she do that tho
Because she thought we were… me.
Ohhhh
The cord between my spirit and my body snaps… and I fall away from myself.
Oh shit
“You were doing that to her. Letting her burn herself…” His eyes flash. “So she would be forced to summon you for aid, bleed for you? Live your memories?”
I never intend to allow Briana to regain control of herself, of course, but if she did, and she found her Merlin dead, she would be extremely distraught.
Surely NOT
The Regents should have kept her drugged and locked up!” “Victoria, my dear,” Aldrich says with a furrowed brow. “Give us some credit. We did try, but there were traitors in our midst.” “Tor…?” Sarah steps back from her girlfriend. “The Regents told us that Bree had gone into hiding with William for her own safety.
Tor traitor i always hated that bjitxh
