Queen of Myth and Monsters (Adrian X Isolde, #2)

by Scarlett St. Clair

“My queen and I will conquer this world, and when we have our empire, we will fuck on a bed of your bones.”

“Men want power,” Ana said. It was the first time she had spoken, and everyone at the table turned to look at her. “Women want to exist without fear.”

“Anything for you,” he said. “Promise me the world,” I said, breathing hard. “It is yours,” he said.

“You do not have to have lived a hundred years or even twenty. If your soul is tired, you will be tired.”

“Words do not heal trauma,” she said. “Then tell me how I heal this.” “You don’t. You love me through the fear, even when my doubt hurts, and I will do the same for you.”
