Sorrow and Starlight (Zodiac Academy, #8)

by Caroline Peckham

For you, my dearest friend and lifelong companion. Our blood was made to spill on each other’s battlefields. I closed the book a little unwillingly and offered it back to Darius. He folded his arms with a serious look. “It’s yours. Keep it.” I shook my head, trying to make him take it back. “If your dad found out-” “He won’t. That book’s been sitting there untouched for years,” Darius said. “Besides, it’s meant for a friend. And that’s what you are.” I sensed the magnitude of what he was offering me and couldn’t help but give in. It was a token of our friendship to each other, and it felt wrong to refuse it. And I decided there and then that we were Nebular Allies, whether the stars agreed or not, I didn’t really care. I was gonna look out for him, and he would look out for me. And that was all there was to it.

OH I CANNOT DO THIS RIGHT NOW
